Post There was more information about Reino Republican who refused to vote for this:
Before upgrading the remedy requested by the White House to Vance’s votes, the Senate stunned two procedural votes to start a debate on the clay-dollar-dollar-spending clayback package.
Three Republican-sensors. Mich McConel (R-K), Lisa Murkoveski (R-Alska) and Susan joined all the Democrats in protest against Colins (R-Men) -bil.
Vance’s votes carried forward the cut package of $ 9.4 billion in the Senate.
Last month, the package approved by the House of Representatives, the axes were allotted to the US Agency for International Development (USAID) about $ 8.3 billion earlier and $ 1.1 billion to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which is partially National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Breakasting Service (PBS). Does.
A proposed $ 400 million deduction for the President’s emergency plan for the AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) program is expected to be scattered through an amendment before the bill comes for the final vote.
The Senate majority leader John Theun (R-SD) told reporters after a meeting with Management and Budget (OMB) director Ras Wout, “Our members were very interested in doing something on Pepfar.” “This is reflected in the option.”
“We hope that if we can get it across the finish line in the Senate, the House will accept that a small modification that finishes the package about $ 9 billion rescue package,” Thuen said.
Coalins defended the “no” vote by arguing that OMB did not give the senators a details as a result of which programs would be scattered as a result of plaqueback.
He said in a statement, “The rescue package has a major problem – no one really knows what the program is lacking in it.” “This is not because we do not have time to review the bill. Instead, the problem is that OMB has never provided details that will be part of this process in general.”
Coalins cited $ 2.5 billion in the proposed deduction for “development aid account”, stating that “from basic education to water and hygiene, everything from food security is everything – but we do not know how they will be affected.”
See as Sen.
NPR and PBS are not neutral media outlets.
They are the closest things that we have ever done for an American Pravada.
And that’s why we are voting to end our taxpayer funding. pic.twitter.com/czmcrj2g1c
