Economy Advocates Gain House Victory
Washington, May 11. House leaders, after a month of debate, pushed through a $28.894 trillion appropriation bill with significant budget cuts. Republicans claim their late amendments save at least a billion dollars while Democrats argue the figure is smaller. Rep Taber cites potential savings near $1 billion from a $600 million cut, while Rep Jensen proposes a vacancy cap likely saving $400 million. Cannon disputes both, noting many cuts duplicate earlier reductions.
