All of these votes were held this week on various appropriations bills. Notice a pattern? Notice the similarities in the vote tallies?The House failed, 177-231, to pass an amendment that would cut a spending bill by 4% across the board.
The House failed, 168-252, to pass an amendment that would cut a spending bill by 1% across the board.
