Nextgov: Congress is moving closer to approving the fiscal 2018 budget, with the Senate passing its version 51-49 Thursday night.
An amendment proposed by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., would have required the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee to find almost $17 million in savings, but the measure was voted down. The House version, however, requires steeper cuts to government spending, with some proposals suggesting reducing some Federal Employee Retirement System benefits and cutting the rate of return on the Thrift Savings Program.
