WASHINGTON — A GOP-controlled House panel on Wednesday worked into the night on a Republican fiscal plan that probably won’t deliver on its promises to balance the budget, but would begin to clear a path for a GOP effort to overhaul the tax code this fall.
The plan proposes deep cuts to safety net programs like Medicaid and food stamps and reprises a controversial Medicare plan strongly opposed by President Donald Trump — though Republicans plan to try to deliver on a small fraction of the cuts.
