Anxiety Republicans require action by the heads of the houses because the withdrawal of GOP ends without a budget plan
Doral, Fla. – GOP House A three -day annual retreat He ended up without public progress in the plans of the reproduction of Republicans, and some legislators become nervous about the backlog.
“After two days in our republican winter withdrawal, we still do not have a plan to reconcile with the budget, and our speaker and his team have not offered none,” Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-D, wrote on Wednesday morning.
“Basically, just start doing something. We have only proposed proposals to reduce policy and budget that we have been presented for for a month at all our meetings and at the overall meeting for a conference on Saturday earlier this month.”
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-L., Told reporters on Tuesday that the initial “draft” would be prepared by tomorrow, at the time we leave. ”

The budget reconciliation process enables the majority party in the home and Senate, in this case the Republicans to adopt a wide overhaul of conservative policy, provided the contents are relevant to the budget and other fiscal issues. This does this by lowering the threshold to pass in the Senate with 60 votes to 51.
It starts with a budget resolution that includes instructions for certain committees to work on changes in the Fiscal Policy Act in accordance with their jurisdictions, including numerous numbers.
When asked by a journalist about this, he expects a wide heat on Wednesday morning, Johnson said: “We will get to that final number. What we have emphasized with our group is that we want to have some flexibility in how to give the instructions the boards. “
“Follow the number. It will be significant, because it must be. I mean, we have a federal debt of $ 36 trillion and we commit it in this process. Everything we do, at least it will be neutral deficit neutral or decrease in deficit,” he said.

Johnson later said at a press conference: “The goal is, by the time we leave here today, a draft to inform Budget Committee because when they work on that budget resolution. “
The details and parameters of this draft are not immediately clear.
By Wednesday afternoon, however, most of the legislators who were staying in the president Donald Trump Golf resort in Dorala, Florida, went without a sense of his next steps.
“I think it is a general feeling that the guidance has to make a call for playing and starting to execute on it,” said the Member of the Fox News Digital House.
Asked if they are optimistic about the leaders who will soon refer that call, the MP said, “They are better if they want to do it.”
Another Republican in the house said the meetings were “productive”, but with a warning – “As long as the leadership takes our contribution, ideas and concern seriously.”
Other GOP MPs signaled that they were annoyed with weeks of “Listening Session” among the Republicans who did not lead to certain directives of the heads of the houses.

But Johnson was convinced that the Budget Committee would have its “draft” to work since the Congress returned “when we return to the hill” – which is next week.
“That will happen, and we will go through the whole chamber, and we will vote by the end of February,” he said.
