Republican agreement to omnibus 'emasculated' them, made fiscal conservatism a 'lie'
• https://conservativeinstitute.org,Republicans in both houses have reportedly agreed to the framework for an omnibus spending bill that will fund the government through most of 2023, a move that Paul and other conservatives like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) have said is a bad idea when Republicans are about to take the House majority.
Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced the deal Tuesday night along with a one-week stopgap measure that would keep the government funded until the omnibus could be passed.
Senate Appropriations Committee Vice Chairman Richard Shelby (R-AL) and House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) both agreed to the deal, but no specifics about the level of spending and increases to defense and domestic spending have yet been released.
