This is NOT an example of spending that Democrats did not support, but that republicans did support.
Thus the term "bipartisan support."
My point is they were being obstructionists because the Republicans clearly had no problem with the bill in committee last month. Which is where it passed with bipartisan support.
Normally, I'd agree with you.
But the fact that government spending is gotten so uncontrolled that support for spending increases dries up after one month tells me that perhaps even I am underestimating the magnetude of the problem.
Actually, I begin to hope you are right, because if obstructionism is not the goal, then we are headed for some really deep financial shit.
