I have thought for awhile that the CRs are the one point of leverage the GOP has in the budget battle. Spending legislation has to originate in the House and so you make the CRs more painful than the alternative. 12B per week is much starker than the 4-6B for 2-3 weeks, so it looks like they are ratcheting up the pressure.
if they’re using CR as a tactic to increase spending cuts then thats fine. The problem a lot of ppl have is that there is too much distrust the GOP leadership in carrying out the goal
CR= “caving RINOs” ?
