Budget Amendment Pulled From House Schedule for Thursday

As speculated earlier today on the Budget Blog, the House GOP leadership has pulled an expected amendment to the budget resolution from Thursday's floor schedule. There is no indication currently if this is simply a delay or a cancelation of the amendment. Either way, it shows that both the GOP leadership and the conservative Republican Study Committee do not have the influence necessary to push through more drastic cuts to low-income entitlement programs in the new political enviornment post-Katrina.
