>>509229330that's fine. it is called negotiation and this kind of thing happens all the time. about half the senate shit will get fixed. the senate fixed about half the house shit. hopefully we get somewhere in between.
the big key on the budget process will come after the BBB. house speaker Johnson has committed to separate appropriations bills once the budget bill is passed. those are where specific defunding of bullshit federal programs will actually occur. we haven't had budget and appropriations bills for more than a decade. it is long passed time to use the House power of the purse to trim the fat from government. BBB is just the first step of the budgeting process. more to come, after reconciliation and passage of BBB which only establishes top-line funding government wide, and not actual program funding at the appropriations level.
