It doesn’t matter now that the Senate and the House are about to Ratify the dictators edict. THEY ARE VOTING TO FUND THIS DICTATORS DREAM!!!
And I fully expect the administration mouthpieces to make noise about any funding in their arguments. The administration will state, accurately, that the Congress had an opportunity to NOT fund this initiative. In the end, after arguing and fighting, the representatives of the People and the representatives of the States both permitted the funding. There IS agreement then of funding this initiative.
