GOP divisions avert spending cap approval in House
Washington Republican leaders faced GOP moderates and conservatives split over proposed legal spending limits. Backed by President Bush, the plan would cap agency operations at 818 billion next year and 439 billion the following year, trigger automatic cuts if exceeded, and shield Social Security and some Medicare benefits. Dems sought more tax cut leniency and debt reduction, while House Republicans argued fiscal discipline must come from spending reductions, not tax hikes.
