The House Budget Committee crafted a spending blueprint that included a pathway to cutting $200 billion in federal spending over the coming decade, while envisioning a tax overhaul that did not add to the federal deficit. But the Senate version of the budget, which the House adopted Thursday, did not provide a path for spending cuts and authorized a tax bill that would add up to $1.5 trillion to the deficit."
