If they stand up to Biden and crazy spending, it’ll be the first time.
He’s gotten everything he’s wanted.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is gearing up for a vote this week on President Biden’s multi-trillion-dollar social welfare legislation, but strong divisions remain among Democrats over the size and scope of the final bill.
Mrs. Pelosi told reporters Monday that she was eager to push through the legislation during an event at the White House commemorating Mr. Biden’s signing of the bipartisan infrastructure package.
“I’m so happy that hopefully this week we will be passing Build Back Better [legislation] to get tax cuts to America’s working families, to create millions of more jobs, to lower health care costs, and all of it paid for by making everyone pay his or her own fair share,” the California Democrat said.
**SNIP**
The standoff might come to naught, however.
CBO director Phillip Swagel announced Monday that the agency would have a full accounting of the bill by the end of the week.
“The Congressional Budget Office anticipates publishing a complete cost estimate … by the end of the day on Friday,” Mr. Swagel said.
The emphasis on proper vetting by the CBO comes as House Democrats have significantly expanded the original framework for the package that was released by Mr. Biden last month.
Mrs. Pelosi has reinserted paid leave and an overhaul of Medicare prescription drug pricing to the proposal, even though such provisions were explicitly cut by the White House over opposition from lawmakers in the Senate.
House Democrats have also added an expansion of the state and local tax deduction, which mainly benefits wealthy residents in high-tax blue states such as New York and California.
