With the compromise that struck last week under greater scrutiny, many Republicans inside and outside the Congress rejected as insufficient agreement, given the modest and immediate impact of its $ 38 billion in cuts. This amount, partly with the help of budgetary manoeuvre, is well below the initial Republican aspirations for $ 61 billion.
"We need more quickly, make a bigger dent," said Representative Jason Chaffetz, Republican of Utah, who predicted that dozens of Republican House would oppose the spending bill.
Tim Pawlenty, former Governor of Minnesota, which is a likely candidate, Republican oil discord. "Plus we learn about the budget deal," Mr. Pawlenty said, "the worse it seems."
Republican leaders reacted against the characterization, saying that the reductions were vast and real. They said that they should be fully able to win House approval on Thursday, but it seemed increasingly likely that the Democratic votes would be needed to say on the top - result management had hoped to avoid, because cracks party could weaken President John a. Boehner in the next budget negotiations.
Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, no. 3 House Republican, said: "we have reduced spending." We know it is a long road to this city bright Hill, and we believe that we have just to a peak in addition. "And we will continue to fight."
Resistance to spending measure came after the consideration of the proposal concluded that some reductions, including some of the health care, should not to produce real savings. This is because the money was not likely to be spent for years although it may be counted as a reduction of current under budget rules.
According to a Congressional Budget Office comparison, Bill produce only 350 million in tangible savings this year, in part because cuts in national programs were offset by an increase of about 5 billion dollars for the Pentagon programs.
When projected emergency emergency spending overseas appeared in by the Bureau of the budget, expenditures estimated for this year in fact increase by $ 3 billion.
The agreement puts the brakes on what had been a growth in spending by federal agencies. Economies to come would be higher than the reductions grabbed - a point Republican aid emphasized by noting that the plan is estimated to reduce their expenditure of 312 billion over the next decade.
"big stuff," said Representative Tom Price, a Republican of the Georgia and conservative leaders who said it aims to support the measure.
During a day unexpectedly meeting Wednesday, lawmakers warned their leaders that they need to defend the deal against attacks from the right if they hoped to unite most of their members.
Representatives of the Congress were a little sad that a delay in obtaining the measure been completed until Tuesday morning meant that they had to postpone the vote until Thursday, giving the opposition a day more to build. A test vote, opening the way for debate on the spending bill easily eliminated the House Wednesday.
Several Democrats said that they intended to vote for the proposal. Representative Robert e. Andrews, party Democrat of New Jersey, said he believed that the final agreement cut by Mr. Boehner, Chairman of Obama and Senator Harry Reid, the leader of the Democratic majority, represented meaningful reductions to protect vital education programs.
After the acts of the House, the Senate should consider the plan. Republican opposition emerged there as well, although approval seemed likely.
Ron Johnson, a freshman Republican Senator from Wisconsin, said Wednesday that he will join other conservatives should reject the plan. "We can do better." "We must do better," he said in a statement.
After spending Thursday vote was complicated by the Conservative criticism that the compromise does too little, the direction of the House must turn around Friday and to sell a plan for long-term budget that some Republicans worry goes too far.
The spending plan written by Ryan representative Paul d., the Wisconsin Republican, who heads the Committee's Budget, includes a proposal politically loaded fundamentally reconfigure Medicare. The vote is wording that Medicare initiative is unlikely to reach the floor of the Senate this session, leaving only the House Republicans in their position.
While the budget has strong conservative support, some Republicans from House Democratic leaning districts said they remain undecided about how they will vote. On Wednesday, the same representative Eric Cantor of Virginia, the leader of the majority, acknowledged that the Republican budget "defied any political agreement" with the emphasis on such a popular program.
Representative Steve Southerland II, a freshman Republican from Florida, said that he was still studying the budget proposal. "Medicare is an infringement of the rights of great concern," he said.
House Democrats were going to put forward their own budget plan, which would make serious reductions in the deficit without jeopardizing social programs cut by the Republican regime.
Republicans cannot rely on any democratic support for their budget, they can afford to lose only two dozen Republicans and always approve the measure, the Directorate has adopted as his signature on the reduction of the deficit.
The Chairman Boehner stated unambiguously just where he was.
"I fully support budget, Paul Ryan, including its efforts on health insurance," Mr. Boehner told journalists Wednesday.
Mr. Ryan said that he did not anticipate great difficulty in winning passage of his proposal.
"We are thrilled and look forward to the floor,", said Mr. Ryan. "" "". We are confident. ?
