Republicans slip into a ‘predictable spiral’
Quote:
First, a Harvey recovery bill without the spending “offsets” so many Republicans demanded of previous bills. Then, a debt-limit increase, possibly secured with promises to spend more money on defense (which would buy GOP votes) and domestic priorities (for Democratic votes). Next, a spending deal that busts previously agreed budget caps by allowing an extra $70 billion or so for an “Overseas Contingency Operations” slush fund. Eventually, a reckless tax cut doesn’t seem so crazy — particularly with midterm elections looming and no accomplishments to show.
When it rains, it pours.

In other words this is a spend and reduce taxes while at it plan.
