Blame Republicans if you want
I do.
but save some for the president and congressional Democrats. Biden rebranded as a deficit hawk after the FY2022 budget process,
Makes sense given our massive deficit.
the FY2023 spending bill was passed under the Democratic trifecta, and the FY2024 appropriations bills were enacted with overwhelming Democratic support at Biden’s urging.
We’re also funding two wars abroad, so that also makes sense. Also, those were the appropriations bills that needed to pass to prevent the government from shutting down. Because those are used every frigging year to hold the country for ransom, usually by Republicans. So of course compromises would be required to pass the least-worst of those lest we get absolutely nothing at all and the whole government shuts down (again).
