House to advance bill busting federal spending caps
(Worthy News) – House lawmakers are poised to advance a two-year break from federal spending caps imposed by a 2011 law that sought to reduce the debt.
House Budget Committee Chairman John Yarmuth, D-Ky., introduced the measure Tuesday and said his panel will vote to advance it Wednesday. A House vote could come next week, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said.
