I wonder if this bill would be subject to a filibuster under current senate rules? If not, it’s pure genius: use the promise of wasteful spending to get Democrats on board to pass the budget, then eliminate the same spending afterwards without them.

Tens of billions more could be saved by eliminating the ethanol/biomass boondoggle.
