It appears the budget bill passed by the House budget committee has garnered a good deal of opposition on both sides of the aisle. Democrats are, of course, opposed to the strict cap on discretionary spending in the budget (set at $873 billion). A number of moderate Republicans also oppose the bill, and while many of them are pushing for $7.2 billion more in discretionary spending to be added, there is little chance the Rules Committee will allow them to offer the amendment. Republican Rep. Ray LaHood (R-IL) speculated that, "Things seem a little further away than they usually do this time, but I think they'll get it by one, two, three votes. Additionally opposing this bill are a number of members on the appropriations committee. Chairman Jerry Lewis (R-CA) is against the budget resolution because of a specific proposal in the budget to put a cap emergency disaster aid. He is lobbying other members of the committee to oppose the budget as well, which could very well tip the scale. The vote should happen early tomorrow morning.
