- Senators will ‘insist on offsets’ in reconciliation bill, Ron Johnson says
Sen. Ron Johnson, incoming chair of the Senate Budget Committee, anticipates conflict over funding a Republican-led spending bill, as House Republicans propose $95 billion in spending without offsetting cuts. Johnson, a deficit hawk, plans to push for offsets, potentially clashing with Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House leaders who oppose cuts to sensitive programs.
