Senate Votes Down House ‘Cut, Cap and Balance’ Plan

July 22, 2011 by Daniel

Harry Reid

The Senate on Friday voted to “table,” or kill, a  House Republican proposal to “cut, cap and balance” the budget that Majority Leader Harry  Reid called the single worst piece of legislation ever to hit the Senate  floor.

The House Republican “Cut, Cap and Balance”  (measure) is now over. It’s done, dead,” Reid said after the 51-46 vote.

With its defeat, lawmakers are still looking for a  deal to cut federal spending while raising the nation’s $14.3 trillion debt  ceiling. The Obama administration says the limit must be increased by Aug. 2 or  the country could default on its loans or otherwise be forced to shut down  services.
