WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Top Republicans in the House of Representatives on Thursday agreed to deepen spending cuts, resolving a split within their party that threatened their ability to deliver on a top campaign promise.
House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers said in a statement that he would nearly double his planned spending cuts to $58 billion from current levels, as Tea Party-aligned conservatives have sought.
