The 2025 Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee on a bipartisan basis last week does a far better job of meeting national needs than the partisan measure approved by the House Appropriations Committee last month.
The bipartisan Senate bills increase overall funding for 2025 non-defense appropriations by almost 3%. While tight, this funding level accommodates rising costs & better meets the nation’s needs than the partisan House bills’ damaging 6% overall cut below already low levels.
Leaders of the Senate Appropriations Committee have announced a bipartisan agreement on funding levels for their 2025 appropriations bills that will allow more adequate funding for key priorities than the damaging approach the House is taking.
For 2025, the Republican majority in the House is digging the hole deeper and causing the cumulative cut since 2010 to grow to 22 percent. cbpp.org/blog/house-bills-wi…
