No surprise Dems voted against it. We'll see what the Senate does. I actually think they shouldnt have pushed this through. Things need to be bi partisan or not at all. If they cant agree to cut spending, then shut it down.

The final tally was 235-193, with four Republicans opposing it. Every Democrat voted "no."

It will now be considered by the Senate, where it is considered dead on arrival.

Earlier in the day, the House rejected an alternative budget that would make an even deeper cuts than Ryan's proposal, but only after a chaotic scene on the House floor.

In an effort to embarrass Republicans by having them approve a budget that makes deeper cuts than Ryan's proposal, Democrats voted "present" on the Republican Study Committee bill. Initially, 124 Republicans were prepared to support the measure offered by the conservative RSC, but several switched their votes when it appeared the bill could pass.

In the end, 119 Republicans voted for the RSC budget, with 120 Republicans voting against. The bill failed in a 119-136 vote.
