I often wondered what happened to these guys, Mike Lee, etc. who used be very fiscally hawkish.

I still dont know what happened to them the article just says it's because of Trump in which case I'm left disappointed.

Just because 'your guy' is in office is no excuse or a pass.

Rand and Massie stand proudly and virtually never to have voted for one of these resolutions also notice how it’s always “different” this time!

The House simply can’t operate under Regular Order.

Funny how all the fiscal hawks never tell us how the tariff is going to bring in $400 billion annually. Hypocrites all.

The reality is that cutting spending will hurt many Americans and businesses that depend on Federal spending.
Politicians know this, and the politicians that propose economic pain will “face the music” from voters and donors in future elections.

This is a main reason federal budget receipts & outlays are completely one-sided in the outlay direction.

The other reason is the rapacity of interest groups.
