House GOP leaders push for floor vote on Obama-embraced budget that includes cuts to Medicare, Social Security | 28 Oct 2015 | Republican leaders are pushing a House floor vote on their budget package on Wednesday, after making last minute changes to the bill to quell discontent over its cost. If the deal makes it to the floor, it is likely to pass, if only because House GOP leaders need just 40 to 50 Republicans to back it. Democrats and GOP moderates have embraced the agreement, which raises the so-called “sequester” budget caps for two years for defense and domestic spending [with cuts to Medicare and Social Security] and increases the country's borrowing limit until March 2017…A senior Democratic aide said that Paul Ryan's staff was involved in drafting Social Security Disability program changes cuts and the Medicare portion of cuts in the bill.
