The facts are in the House rules....including a Republican substitute proposal...equal time for debate on amendments..etc.

Republicans are bitching about a limit on amendments, which is hardly anything new....that has been the case with all recent House rules or the minority could stall the budget proposal for ever if they so desired.

In fact, there were more amendments allowed in the Budget committees this year than previous years.
