When Congress returns from their July 4th break, budget discussion will again be one of the critical agenda issues.

South Dakota Senator John Thune says the two sides are beginning the face off…

 

Thune says while republicans want to spend more on defense, they are not willing to trade that for more spending elsewhere…

 

Thune says much of the disagreement is over spending caps and sequestration…

 

Thune says he hopes there are not threats to shut down the government over the budget differences.
