GOP-controlled Senate steamrolled conservatives to give Obama even more money than he asked for
Republicans control the Senate, and Barack Obama is an unpopular lame duck — but you wouldn’t know that if you saw what the GOP just did.Terrified of being criticized by the mainstream media, the Republican-controlled Senate just passed a budget bill that spends even more money than Obama requested.
The FY2016 Energy and Water Appropriations Bill, written and passed by Republicans, spends $355 million more than last year and gives Obama $261 million more than he requested.
And not only did Republicans shower Obama with more cash than he asked for, they aggressively defeated every effort to attach conservative reforms to the Energy and Water Appropriations Bill, (H.R. 2028).
Senate Republican leaders crushed dissent and gave Obama more than he requested because they didn’t want to be criticized by the D.C. media for not working with Democrats.
