Not enough support for the federal budget

Seems the Republicans are having a hard time getting enough support for their proposed budget. Some congresspeople are having a hard time swallowing huge cuts in programs for children's health programs since the cuts don't even translate into deficit reduction. From the American Progress Action Fund:

BUDGET -- HOUSE BUDGET RESOLUTION 'YANKED' FOR SECOND TIME: Yesterday, conservative leaders in the House "yanked the $2.7 trillion FY07 budget resolution from the schedule after failing to reach agreement with party moderates on health and education spending." "It was the second time in less than two months that they could not round up enough votes to pass a budget," CongressDaily reports, while the "window of opportunity is rapidly closing with the first FY07 appropriations bills reaching the floor next week." A Budget Committee head count showed its budget plan is "still a few votes short of a majority in the full House." "The money is not there right now," said Rep. Michael Castle (R-DE), "members are very concerned about medical research, university research," and spending on education and housing. A Center on Budget and Policy Priorities analysis of the budget found the plan "does not score well on either fiscal responsibility or fairness." Over a five-year period, domestic discretionary spending (on programs such as the State Children’s Health Insurance Program) would be cut by $167 billion and entitlement spending would be cut by $5.1 billion. These cuts would not go toward deficit reduction. The budget plan would instead increase the deficit by $254 billion over five years.
