Senate tired of waiting on the House to figure out its budget mess

Senate tired of waiting on the House to figure out its budget mess-washingtonpost: The Senate has a message for the House: We already agreed we’re not cutting spending this year, get over it.  Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Tuesday that the upper chamber plans to soon begin writing spending bills based on a bipartisan budget agreement reached in December that would boost spending this year by $30 billion. House conservatives are pushing their leaders to abandon that deal, which would greatly complicate the push by McConnell and Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) to pass as many of the 12 annual spending bills as possible this year ahead of the November elections.
