The Spin

Republican narrative

There's a lot of hard work ahead for Republicans in both houses of Congress. But by largely sticking together to pass this budget resolution, Congress has moved one step closer to delivering Trump's "America First" agenda to the people — fulfilling Republicans' campaign promises.

Democratic narrative

This terrible resolution will recklessly add trillions to the US' deficit while making spending cuts on programs that help everyday Americans in order to pay for tax cuts for the filthy rich. Republicans are also hiding cuts to Medicare in this bill. This is not what Americans voted for.
