Abby Philip: The Era of Republicans Insisting on Fiscal Belt-Tightening Is in Question

‘Hard to see how they could hold disaster funding up to a higher standard’

RUSH EXCERPT:

PHILIP: "And frankly, seems unlikely Republicans will be the problem. I think there’s been so — the list of things that folks like Mick Mulvaney and others in the house totally flipped on in the trump era is very long. I suspect this will be another one of them. I think this era of Republicans really insisting on fiscal belt tightening is kind of in question, because there are a lot of things that Republicans have on the agenda now they have no intention to pay for. Including tax reform, for example. So hard to see how they could hold disaster funding up to a higher standard than eventually anything else on the docket at the moment."
