Snip

The measure is believed to have no chance of clearing the Democratic-controlled Senate.

The vote was 221-207.

[chrisser]

Unlikely Harry’ll even bring it up for a vote, I suspect.

[b4its2late]

All efforts in futility with the left in control of anything.

[listenhillary]

Pretty safe vote for all. Democrats could have voted for it to put in their “see how conservative I am” files to whip out at election time.

[Dead Corpse]

Continuing to do the job they are supposed to while the Dem controlled Senate continues to not do theirs.

SHUT IT DOWN. No more capitulation with continuing resolutions.

Unlikely Harry’ll even bring it up for a vote, I suspect.

He'll blame the Senate's inaction on the sequester.

So let’s have a conference committee, you know, the way it was done when ADULTS were in the Senate.

[COBOL2Java]

Ten Republicans voted Nay.

[Magnum44]

Since the Senate passed their own bill, dont the two go to a reconciliation phase now? Then the reconciled bill would have to be voted up by both House and Senate?

[redgolum]

Posturing like this isn’t going to play well.

It will be interesting to see if he does considering Senate Democrats to force vote on Ryan budget

[listenhillary]

We will find out what the American people are made of. Or at least what they want.

Hopium delusions and snake oil or the truth.

Posturing like this isn’t going to play well.

How is doing your Constitutional job posturing?

How do you think the Senate's budget is going to play?

[popdonnelly]

So they swallowed the Democrats’ line that the kids or Grandma will be out in the street?

[unixfox]

Ten Republicans voted Nay.

The usual RINOS I suspect.

This one gives a little bit of background (NationalJournal): Ten House GOPers Vote Against Ryan's Budget

[Grams A]

Ten Republicans voted Nay.”

Ryan’s budget is for ten years down the road. Cuts can, need and must be made now. Most of them won’t be around ten years from now so what do they care. In the meantime, the debt continues to roll up and away!

I’m sure they knew full well that anything with any cuts at all would never come up for a vote by the Senate so I don’t understand why they didn’t go for broke and pass a plan that would balance the budget in two years or certainly no more than five.

IMO all this confirms that Republicans have no intention of ever getting serious about reducing runaway irresponsible spending.

[Defiant]

Now sit back and wait. Do nothing until the Senate passes a bill. Then meet them in conference committee. If the Senate doesn’t pass a bill, fine. No more continuing resolutions or dealing directly with the President. He doesn’t have a say until there is a bill out of conference.
