Kaine: Confused GOP Lawmakers Having ‘Hard Time’ Agreeing on Budget

EXCERPT:

KAINE: "I don’t like the fact that Donald Trump is shutting government down as we speak. You know, he says, 'I want to shut down the Department of Education, shrink USAID staff down to 250 people.' That’s a shutdown unauthorized by Congress, against the law. I don’t like that and I don’t think we should be contemplating shutdown. Look, the Republicans, as you point out, Shannon, they have all three levers, they have the White House, they have both houses. They have to figure out a budget deal. We could have done one last year, but after the November election they said, 'Well, let’s wait until 2025 when we have all the levers and we will do a budget deal ourselves.' So far you can see there’s a lot of confusion between the House Republicans and the Senate Republicans. We know where this is going. It's tax cuts for the wealthiest that’s gonna come very, very soon. We saw that in the Budget Committee this week. But they're having a hard time getting on the same page."
