'We can do unconstitutional statist socialist stuff better than the Democrats.'
The power you get from Ways and Means is you get to control how the money gets spent. Your power is proportional to how much money you spend, because then you control who WON'T get theirs. And bureaucrats will do anything to keep the money coming to them.
So the job incentives you to spend, spend, spend. Seems like Ryan is on board.
