Getting something that doesn’t involve $330 Billion in new spending? Actually cutting spending?

You need to become familiar with the way DC works.
This bill, even though it contains 330 billion in Additional Spending
Is considered a cut, because the Senate originally wanted to add
1 trillion in new spending but cut it back to 330 billion in new spending.
Therefore it is a spending cut bill.
That the way DC thinks.
The funny part is that Lindsey Graham came out today and said he wants
spending cuts, but just voted for a bill that has 330 new spending in it.
