Do you mean all of yhose artsy chuck n nancy spending bills aren’t going to bear fruit? No way. We are good to go, right, heard it right here on FR.
Counting on the same republcans who couldnt repeal obamacare is a joke. A wasted effort and a breach of trust.

Thank god we rid ourselves of our infestation of houserinos. I had predicted in 2016 that if Trump one the Presidency the Republicans would lose Congress [based on the same logic of throwing the bastards out]. Well, I was off by two years and we have managed to rid ourselves of the most pestilential RINOs in the Senate without losing the majority there. In fact we have defeated some rabid socialists on the other side.

The House does not control spending. Spending bills originate in the House, but the Senate can amend them. There was a famous Senate spending bill where the Senate amended the House bill by deleting the entire bill and replacing it, keeping only the HR number. I don't recall exactly what happened to it, and it was another senate RINO outrage, but it just shows that things aren't as clear as they seem in the grand Kabuki of DC.
