It’s all for show. Modest amounts that will never get past the Senate le5 alone have a snowball’s chance in Hell of being signed by the President, and forget about overriding a veto. This is pre primary campaign advertising.
I’d like to hope this gets through, but you are correct in your analysis…
Why would the Republicans think they can get anything past? After all, they threw the leverage they had completely out the door by agreeing to raise the debt ceiling without very little in return.
The debt ceiling bill highlighted either:
1) A complete lack of competence and misunderstanding on how to negotiate.
2) The presence of the uniparty and the theater it presents to the American people.
