On Tuesday, the House of Representatives easily approved a continuing budget resolution that keeps the government funded for the next two weeks. Republicans demanded and got four billion dollars in spending cuts, and only a few GOP members opposed the bill. One was Iowa Rep. Steve King. What was in the bill that made it impossible for him to support it? Why were the contents of the bill so different from what the House Republicans approved just two weeks ago? Are Republicans more committed to keeping the government running or to making the the tough spending cuts necessary to put our fiscal house back in order? We discuss it all with Rep. King.
