The Democrats have unveiled their long-term CR proposal. Looks like they've made the best out of a bad sitution. From AP: Democrats unveiled a $463.5 billion catchall spending bill late Monday to boost funding for community health centers, lower-income college students and efforts to combat AIDS overseas — while sticking within the confines of President Bush's tight constraints for the ongoing budget year. The bill, slated for a House vote Wednesday, finds money for Democratic priorities by cutting Pentagon efforts to implement a 2005 round of base closings and freezing hundreds of federal accounts at last year's levels. The measure sticks within President Bush's tight cap on domestic agency budgets, but Democrats still don't see much to like. "I don't expect people to love this proposal, I don't love this proposal, and we probably have made some wrong choices," said House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey, D-Wis. "At least we have made them in order to bring last year's issues to a conclusion so we can turn the page and deal with next year's priorities."
