[EXCERPT]

The budget measure calls for $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and a goal of $2 trillion in spending cuts. It includes more than $100 billion in new spending on immigration enforcement and the military.

It also requires the House Energy and Commerce Committee to find $880 billion in cuts to federal programs, and Republicans say some of that will come from reducing spending on Medicaid. And it raises the debt limit by $4 trillion.

Only one congressman crossed party lines

All Democrats voted against the measure, along with lone Republican rebel Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who was concerned about its effect on the national deficit.

In the Senate, we have Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins.
In the house we have Tom Massie.

It shows at least that a budget can be adopted. That hasn’t happened for a very long time.
