House Republicans Brace for Tough Talk on Cuts

“House Republicans are in for a long day of tough conversations about how to pay for President Donald Trump’s massive legislative agenda at their Florida retreat, with various factions already drawing red lines over the package,” Politico reports.

“House GOP hard-liners are pushing for massive cuts across the federal government in that sweeping legislation, which is set to be passed using the budget reconciliation process. Republicans in competitive districts, however, have raised concerns about slashing the social safety net and some other federal programs.”
