US EditionColumn: Federal Spending Bill Reflects Coastal Virginia’s Values
- The House passed a GOP budget bill on May 22 that faces strong opposition in the Senate from several Republican senators including Rick Scott of Florida.
- Senators oppose the bill because it cuts spending by less than 2% over ten years and increases the debt limit by $4 trillion, which they consider insufficient fiscal discipline.
- Prominent Senate Republicans including Scott and others are pushing for substantial changes such as enhanced border enforcement, deeper budget reductions, and cuts to mandatory spending in order to achieve a balanced budget.

- President Trump supports senators modifying the bill to secure passage and encouraged changes, but the opposition suggests the bill may fail without substantial reform and spending reductions.
