Senate Budget Rejects House Bid to Skirt Military Spending Caps

In the Senate on Wednesday, Republican budget writers rejected a bill from House Republicans that wouldn't require any spending caps for the military. Instead they turned it into a bill that had huge cuts from federal health care and welfare, and stuck close to the restrictions. The House proposal and Senate revisions are close other than Senate rejecting the unlimited money for the military. They are trying to make Medicaid and food stamps block grants among other things. Although some Republicans in the House still want no caps on military expenses, now everyone needs to cooperate and finalize the spending bill. The House Representatives are saying the bill will save $430 billion dollars, but many are skeptical how.
This relates to what we are learning about because it talks about block grants and also mentions in the article wanting to give the states more responsibility. It also talks about the House of Representatives and Senate. I think that if this bill can really save $430 billion it will be great. I also think that there should be spending caps on the military and that Senate Republicans are making smart decisions.
