OK please explain to me how in a GOP-controlled Congress that is spending more than any Congress ever did before, that the average GOP score is 62 percent in the House and 71 percent in the Senate. Are all the majorities that are passing spending legislation primarily Democrat, with a few GOP supporters?
Are we really getting 62-71% taxpayer-friendly behavior from those chambers? The spending numbers would indicate otherwise... how can this be reconciled?
Basically, the taxes & spending pass with Republicans voting for these about 30% to 40% of the time and Democrats 80% of the time.
Since the parties are so evenly divided, this produces an average of 55% to 60% in favor of higher taxes & spending.
