White House Says No Budget Compromise

From The Hill:

The White House responded sharply on Saturday to reports that the congressional Democratic leadership was putting the finishing touches on a huge omnibus spending bill that includes funding for the ongoing military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Office of Management and Budget Director Jim Nussle issued a blunt veto threat ...

“Although the Administration has not seen the legislation, according to press reports it would include $18 billion in additional domestic and emergency spending above the president’s budget,” Nussle said. “When added to emergency domestic spending Congress already included in the Defense Appropriations bill, this so-called compromise would result in more excess spending than even the Democrats’ original budget included.”
