I don’t understand this story. The headline implies that conservatives were opposed to the bill. But the article says that all Democrats opposed it

I'll walk you through it. The House Budget Committee is 20 Republicans and 17 Democrats. This spending bill lost 16-21. Four Republicans defected because this bill was out of control like every other budget since 2002.

Democrats oppose the bill because they want more spending and higher taxes than in the bill.

Non-RINO Republicans oppose it because they want less spending and lower taxes than in the bill.

The Democrats will oppose and demagogue anything coming out of Republican side.
Like they all voted out Kevin McCarthy.

They will be all supporting cancer, if Trump found how to treat it!

That’s why it is so stupid to be moderate on the budget.
They will oppose and demagogue it anyway! So at least do the right thing!

The Dems are opposing it because it’s their job to be obstructionist aholes but if they thought about it they vote yes because it’s another bloated ‘budget’ that they could impose on the country.
