Senators push 5 billion drought aid opposed by Bush
Senate Democrats led by Tom Daschle unveiled a roughly 5 billion drought relief package for farmers and ranchers harmed by droughts and wildfires, despite President Bush’s opposition to extra spending. The measure seeks funds from federal deficits and faces a 60 vote hurdle as Republicans weigh a smaller aid alternative. The administration favors funding within the existing budget and farm bill context.
