"We worked on rescissions, and there'll be more of that, we expect, in the days ahead,"
"A rescissions package is part of our process. I know the Democrats hate to cut spending in any way, in any form,"
"Whatever final resolution we reach to re-open the government, in my view, has to include some protection and some understanding that the funds that we will appropriate will not then be taken back through rescissions,"
"would like to do another reconciliation bill this fall, before the end of the calendar year, and potentially a third one in spring,"
Republicans expect additional rescissions and view a rescissions package as part of the fiscal process. Democrats demand protections to ensure appropriated funds are not later rescinded. A $9 billion rescissions package in July revoked funding for PBS, NPR, and several foreign aid programs. Concerns exist that further rescissions could jeopardize Democratic support for government funding bills. Republicans aim to pass another reconciliation bill this fall and potentially a third in spring, with priorities including deficit reduction, cuts to wind and solar tax credits, and increased efforts to address Medicaid fraud. Undoing Medicaid cuts remains central to the current funding dispute.
