Omnibus spending bill split shows Republicans falling into familiar spending trap Analysis from JimAntle:
Spending has traditionally been something Republicans at the federal level want to cut when there is a Democratic president but are content to let balloon out of control once the White House has been painted red.
The alternative is to more or less go along with the status quo on spending, as House conservatives allege 18 Republican senators did with the latest government funding deal. Shut-it-all-down or go-along-to-get-along is hardly a choice at all. It gives Republicans the option of fiscal irresponsibility or making fiscal responsibility itself look irresponsible. And now it speaks to a larger temperamental divide within the party about its approach to governing more broadly.
A new Republican majority will put the brake on Biden’s spending ambitions, and thus his ability to reignite inflation, simply by existing. Two of the biggest spending bills of the Biden administration were passed through reconciliation, which will now be virtually off the table. The GOP can stop other expenditures in their tracks no matter what legislative process is utilized, as long as the party's members can stay together.
