GOP Budget Includes Real Cuts

House Conservatives Unveil Plan to Balance Budget in 4 Years

The RSC budget is built on many of the same elements in the Ryan plan. It just implements them faster.

It also imposes lower caps on non-defense discretionary spending, achieving a net reduction in actual spending. The Ryan plan, by contrast, simply lowers the rate of increase in discretionary spending.
