Rep. Paul Ryan told Fox's Chris Wallace that Republicans in the House and Senate would have a hard time blocking President Obama's budget. "You can't stop this in the House. It is a complete majority rule. It will be very difficult to stop this in the Senate," he said.

Republicans in the House will lobby conservative Democrats to vote against the budget. Ryan said, "If you can get a few Democrats to turn, then I think you can slow this down. If not, I'm not sure you can."
