What took them so long to get it to the house for . Guest so the budgets typically pass, only republican sport which means you need the vast majority of the House Republican conference on board and went from Freedom Caucus members early on that he wanted to see a detailed outline of the tax plan before voting to advance the budget resolution which of course includes those reconciliation instructions that allow them to move the tax bill through with only republican support in the senate. Host that backing from the Freedom Caucus critical element to this. What obstacles does this base next week in the house . Guest we dont think it faces many obstacles at this point in time. Weve been talking with conservatives and Republican Study Committee and the Freedom Caucus and they both seem, both grooms to be on board at this point with moving the budget resolution forward. Some are moderate members have concerns about the 203 billion in mandatory spending cuts over the next decade but we are not quite sure at this point in time if they will vote against the budget resolution because of those concerns. Even as a few of them do it should still be able to advance easily. Host what is important to the house and congress probably passing a budget resolution . Guest the way republicans have started their tax bill is, sort of seems to be a partyline vote at this point in time. When congress adopts the budget resolution after house passes theres, they go to conference, will send reconciliation instructions to the taxwriting committees and that doesnt much of a purpose in in house, but in the senate it allows them to advance their tax bill with a simple majority vote meaning they wont need democrats in the senate. Democrats and is and will not be able to filibuster. Host what about democrats in the house, what have we heard so far ahead of next weeks debate . Guest dont expect any democratic support on the house budget resolution. It is an extremely conservative policy document both in spending levels and in funding policy, and democrats will on the floor vehemently opposed to this. Host has the white house given Republican Leadership in indication of their view of the budget resolution, quickly might want to see it done . Guest the white house wants is to move forward pretty quickly. After everything that happened with repeal and replace about the summer and even last week, the white house really wants some wins, and adopting the budget resolution would give them a win heading into tax reform. Host and the timely for next week, when will we see it rolled and when will it be on the house for . Guest i believe in the rules committee on tuesday at 3 p. M. And then we heard from Budget Committee chairman diane black that she expects a floor vote on thursday. On the other side of the chamber, the senate Budget Committee is expected to be marking up their resolution next week and we anticipate a twoday markup.
