West Wing Reports (@WestWingReport) March 29, 2012No Democrat voted for Rep. Paul Ryan’s proposal, which seeks to balance the budget in 20 years or less (depending on whether you believe that pro-growth budgets increase economic growth or not), and 10 Republicans voted against it as well.
10 Republicans voted against on Ryan budget: Amash, Barton, Duncan (TN), Gibson, Huelskamp, Jones, McKinley, Platts, Rehberg, Whitfield—

Of those 10, Walter B. Jones (NC), David B. McKinley (WV), and Denny Rehberg (Mont.) also voted "no" on the Ryan budget last year—

It’s likely those Republicans wanted a faster path to a balanced budget. In all, today’s vote was comparable to last year’s vote.
7 fewer yeas and 2 fewer nays than last year’s 235–193 vote on Ryan budget. Jones, McKinley, Rehberg voted no last year along with Ron Paul—
