It\u2019s a busy week on Capitol Hill for votes on the federal budget. Earlier today, House Republicans passed<\/a> the third iteration of Budget Chairman Paul Ryan\u2019s Path to Prosperity plan, 221-207.<\/p>\n

In past years, House passage of Ryan\u2019s plan would be the first, and last, serious congressional action on the federal budget, since Senate Democrats refused to support President Barack Obama\u2019s proposal or submit one of their own.<\/p>\n

But not this year. Tomorrow, Senate Democrats will begin debate on their first budget outline in four years. As an added twist, the Democrats will offer amendments that resemble Ryan\u2019s plan<\/a> to see if Senate Republicans will go on the record to support it.<\/p>\n

Voting will likely stretch into the wee hours of Saturday morning before Congress adjourns for a two week recess.<\/p>\n
