'I can't live with myself': GOP congressmen say they can't back Trump budget plans
President Donald Trump's budget plan likely won't pass its House vote Wednesday afternoon. That's because several GOP lawmakers will not be backing it, including Congressman Eric Burlison (R-MO).
“I can’t live with myself if I go back home and I added more debt and deficits without any kind of correction whatsoever,” Burlison told the New York Times. “I couldn’t live with myself.”
The former state lawmaker successfully advocated for the Show-me State's Legislature to seek an amendment to require a balanced budget.
