Senate lawmakers voted 51-48 to approve a revised version of a GOP-crafted budget resolution in the early hours of April 5, with just two Republicans breaking ranks, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Susan Collins of Maine, to join with all Democrats who opposed it.

Budget resolutions are non-binding and don’t become law, but when both the House and Senate pass identical resolutions, they move to advance a reconciliation bill that ultimately can become law. A reconciliation bill, which goes through an expedited approval process, incorporates specific top-line debt limits, spending caps and cuts, and tax credits outlined in the budget resolutions.

Burrrrrrrr 💵
