The conservative Republican Study Committee (RSC) will put forward an alternative, more aggressive budget proposal than the main House Republican budget authored this week by Rep. Paul Ryan.
Chairman Steve Scalise (R-La.) said the budget amendment offered by the large conservative bloc would call for eliminating the federal deficit within four years — more than twice as fast as the Ryan budget, which balances in a decade.
It's the third consecutive year that House conservatives will present their own budget plan.
Last year’s RSC budget balanced in five years. But Scalise, who took over as chairman in January, had said the group would wait until Ryan (R-Wis.) released his budget this week before deciding whether to offer its own.
“I don’t think anything we do is undermining the Ryan budget. In fact, we actually build on some of the things that Paul has worked on,” Scalise said in a taped interview for C-Span’s “Newsmakers” that will air on Sunday.
