House Republicans Apply Pressure on Missing Obama Budget
Plan to advance a bill requiring one
House Republicans leaders Tuesday kept up pressure on the White House for failing to produce a budget on time, and vowed to advance a bill requiring a balanced budget from the Obama administration.
GOP officials contended that the president's latest failure to submit a budget by Monday's legal deadline, coupled with nearly four years without a Senate budget, shows the Democratic party is not serious about tackling the nation's fiscal woes. Now, they plan to advance a bill Tuesday afternoon that would require the president to submit a balanced budget, or at least identify at what point in the future his fiscal plan would balance.
