BUDGET DEAL FOR 2016 AND 2017 A DONE DEAL BEFORE SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER (R-OH) BECOMES A PUMPKIN THIS HALLOWEEN AS DESCRETIONARY SPENDING TO INCREASE BY $112 BILLION ONLY BUSTING THE 2011 BUDGET CONTROL ACT (BCA) AS EVERY DEMOCRAT TO VOTE FOR THE BILL WITH ENOUGH GOP TO PASS THE MUSTER–CONSIDER THAT THE DOUBLING FROM $10 TRILLION OF THE DEBT HAS NOT YET BEEN REACHED UNDER THE DEMOCRAT SPENDING SPREE OF $20 TRILLION–WILL THERE BE ENOUGH EXCESS SPENDING FOR THE NEXT POTUS AFTER THE POTUS BHO GETS OFF FROM OFFICE END OF 2016

The House as early as Wednesday is poised to approve a two-year deal to raise spending caps and the debt limit, averting a potential federal default next week and a government shutdown later this year.

The legislation, which increases discretionary spending by $112 billion over fiscal years 2016 and 2017, has drawn ire from many Republicans and conservative-leaning advocacy groups for busting spending caps set by the 2011 Budget Control Act (BCA).

But lawmakers on both sides of the Capitol predicted on Tuesday that the bill would pass, carried in the House by a coalition of defense hawks, Democrats and Republicans loyal to outgoing Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).

“I think every Democrat will vote for it and there will be enough Republicans in the conference that ultimately the deal will be passed. That doesn’t mean I agree with it,” said Rep. Matt Salmon (R-Ariz.), a veteran conservative.

Two House Freedom Caucus members told The Hill as many as 100 House Republicans could ultimately vote for the deal, which would be a feather in Boehner’s cap as he prepares to leave Congress at the end of the week.

“It will be a big bipartisan vote,” Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told The Hill.
