Budget fight reveals power players in Congress
Washington lawmakers mirror a stalemate that pits House Speaker Boehner and Senate Leader Reid against each other as Democrats press for a clean continuing resolution to reopen the government. The dispute centers on defunding or altering parts of the health care law and the timing of funding bills. The House seeks extensions with policy riders while the Senate demands a straightforward CR without conditions. Both sides acknowledge unresolved budget clashes across agencies and departments, with tentative deadlines in November and December.
