Ideally, I’d love for Dems to just start taking credit for everything MAGA brags about. Since apparently the Republicans aren’t in charge.

    Theres a distinction between a “fiscal budget” and a “spending bill” I guess.

    The fiscal budget for the year has already been decided. There is no Fiscal Budget 2: Skidaddle Rougarou.

      Both can be reconciled. Continuences can’t be. Aka, they haven’t made an finalized measure for this, and thus keep kicking it forward with continuences

          SNAP, Medicare, Medicade, are all funded through standard budgets as far as I know. So precedent would be the Inflation Reduction Act.

          That passed through reconciliation August 2022. I don’t see how SNAP or Medical budgets could be stopped right now without having undergone a budget change.

            You’re right…

            Maybe the GOP can’t pass the Byrd test, lmao. Like an addict can’t piss clean, a Republican can’t lower the budget expenditure.
