Senate Rejects Competing GOP Democratic Budget Plans
The Democratic-led Senate rejects a GOP House budget bill as draconian and a rival Democratic plan as too timid. The votes aim to prod both sides toward compromise as talks likely miss the March 18 deadline, risking another stopgap funding extension to avert a government shutdown. White House budget director Lew says negotiations may become more productive. Moderates including Manchin Nelson and McCaskill oppose both plans, highlighting pressure for further targeted cuts while guarding infrastructure, education, and research funding.
