That hasn’t changed. It’s why you see Congress authorizing a raise in the debt limit all the time. So that they can indulge their desire to keep spending more.

Sorry, but if the Const. were still followed, there’d be no NEED to raise the debt ceiling....~95+% of the budget doesn’t fall within their authority.

Voting to raise the debt limit means that they are following the Constitution. You may not agree with what they spend money on but that has nothing to do with whether they are following the proper form.
