Conservatives push for balanced budget, permanent tax cuts in 2019 budget plan

The Republican Study Committee released a proposed 2019 budget Wednesday that would balance the budget in eight years and cut billions of dollars worth of discretionary spending from the omnibus package, giving conservatives a plan to rally around in the wake of a budget deal with Democrats that added $300 billion in new spending over the next two years.

The proposal released Wednesday includes many pet issues for conservatives, including making permanent the tax cuts enacted by the GOP tax law passed in December, the full repeal of Obamacare, and the elimination of many spending priorities from the bipartisan omnibus package.
