Voters 'want us to do more,' Republicans say. They're just not sure what. [View all]

A party-line bill funding immigration enforcement and White House security measures is now on a path to passage. But many in the GOP are already making a wishlist for yet another bill they want to pass under the fast-track budget reconciliation process.

The imperatives, they say, are clear: Their party needs to do more to address cost-of-living matters before voters go to the polls in the fall.

“The American people universally want us to do more than what we've already done,” Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.) said in an interview.
