The House GOP budget was up for a vote a few minutes ago and it…failed miserably; 137 in support, 293 (including 38 Republicans) against. Those are the only 38 Republicans in the House who don’t think we need a spending freeze and tax cuts for the rich at this particular historical moment. However, none of those 38 civic-minded souls voted for the Democratic budget, which just passed 233-196.
How do I know that? Because as with the stimulus bill, zero Republicans voted with the Democrats on this major agenda item. Not surprisingly, though 20 Democrats voted with the Republicans against the Democratic resolution
I’ll post roll calls later tonight or tomorrow, depending on when they become available.
Late update: Roll call on the GOP budget here, on the Democratic budget here.
