House Conservatives Criticize Senate Budget Plan's Spending Cuts

House Republicans are expressing strong opposition to the Senate's recently approved budget resolution, criticizing it for lacking significant spending cuts and failing to address the deficit effectively. House Budget Committee Chair Jodey Arrington labeled the Senate's plan as 'unserious and disappointing,' highlighting that it proposes $5.8 trillion in new costs with only $4 billion in enforceable cuts. He emphasized the urgency of addressing the growing deficit to avoid catastrophic consequences for the economy. Rep. Chip Roy also condemned the Senate budget as a 'path to failure,' advocating for more substantial reductions and reforms. The Senate's budget utilizes a controversial 'current policy' baseline to score tax cuts, which critics argue could mask the true fiscal impact. As negotiations move forward, GOP leaders face challenges in reconciling differing budget plans from the House and Senate.
