Very possibly the stupidest post I’ve ever read.
The reason it was easy to pass an FAA fix is because it really wasn’t necessary in the first place. It was a fake issue, the administration was going out of their way to disrupt air travel and refusing to use authority they already had to mitigate the disruptions. Congress passed a bill authorizing the administration to move money around within the DOT budget to relieve the problem, something Congressional leaders already believed the administration had the authority to do. Voila, problem solved. Cost? Zero Dollars. OTOH, there really isn’t an easy fix to the Pentagon’s cuts. Either taxes have to increase or the budget has to be cut elsewhere. Neither which is likely to happen unless one party gains control of congress. They’re just not even remotely comparable situations.
