This was a vote on the budget proposed by the Congressional Black Caucus (“CBC”), which was offered as a substitute for the Democratic majority-sponsored budget that the House was considering. The CBC budget was based on the Democratic budget, but it also would have immediately repealed the Bush-era tax cuts, and applied the revenue that would have been generated to education, health care, job training, international trade, justice, transportation, and veterans programs. The CBC budget would have reduced funding for the proposed ballistic missile defense system and reallocated that funding to increased Defense Department health care research programs and wounded veterans’ assistance. In addition, it would have reallocated funds to allow the Defense Department to finish implementing recommendations of the Government Accountability Office relating to waste, fraud, and abuse within the department. |
