I keep hearing that there is a poison pill in here for a possible future Trump presidency...but couldn’t the next congress undo it just the same as it was created here?
RE: couldn’t the next congress undo it just the same as it was created here?
They could, assuming Conservative Republicans take control of Congress in 2024. Can we rely on this assumption?
What normally happens is the House would modify the bill to their liking. Then they meet and hammer out a bill that satisfies both houses. That’s if they want to pass a bill.
“couldn’t the next congress undo it just the same as it was created here?“
Well that is the BS spin, it would take a bill that made it through both houses. Even if by some miracle we got both there would be enough deep state a-holes to keep it from passing. The rats and the GOPe stuffed this little gem in there knowing it would be almost impossible to undue it. That is why Pelosi is trying to use a discharge petition to force it.

Exactly!
More generally, Presidents are always inaugurated partway through the government’s fiscal year. Therefore, enactment of a budget ALWAYS has some effect of restricting the options of the new President, unless Congress changes it. When Biden took office, the budget that was in place for the first several months of his term was the budget that Trump had signed.
Calling this a “poison pill” is just scaremongering.
