House Approves Ryan Budget

The House narrowly approved Rep. Paul Ryan’s spending blueprint, 219-205, Roll Call reports.

“It’s an important symbolic victory for the Wisconsin Republican and potential GOP presidential contender. No Democrats voted for the 10-year-spending plan and the bill won’t go anywhere in the Senate, but the document has come to represent a marker for where the Republican Party, its leaders and rank-and-file House members stand on fiscal policy.”
