GOP Not Happy With Current Funding Bill
  • 6 years ago
GOP lawmakers are said to be livid over a last-minute government funding bill which they say will not include significant wins for their side. Leaders in the House and Senate are currently finalizing the plan before funding runs out at midnight on Friday this week. Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan said, "I would just say Planned Parenthood gets money, the unconstitutional NICS program gets money, the Gateway Project gets money, the American taxpayer gets a trillion dollar deficit and no money for the wall." North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows, who chairs the influential House Freedom Caucus, adds, "The leverage of conservatives on this particular initiative has been minimal and we have tried to negotiate around the edges, but frankly, they only go to Democrats for the majority of the votes."
