I have not been able to get my head around this spending freeze that has been proposed. I just got a terrible feeling while watching CNBC. They were talking about the big rises in the programs that are about to be frozen. Wow. What would be the best way to get guaranteed spending on programs you want to funnel more money to over the next few years when you know you are likely to lose control of Congress?
They don't have 60 votes to get some of their efforts through, but the nuclear option can be used for budgetary matters and this is nothing if not a budgetary matter. With only 51 votes needed to push this huge pile of garbage through the Senate, the administration can lay the groundwork for the next 3 years of bloated spending.
Just a thought from a very tired guy.
