Republican Budget Bill Doesn’t Add Up

Matthew Yglesias: “They have been avoiding it all year, but when congressional Republicans return to Washington this week, they will need to focus on their main job: deciding exactly how to spend the people’s money. So far, depending on how you look at it, they have either done a terrible job of forging consensus on this question, or an excellent job of keeping their plans so vague they are difficult to attack.”

“At this point, however, if they want to advance their budget reconciliation bill, they are going to have to start showing their cards.”
