“But the Democrats want to forget all that spend hundreds of billions of dollars in new spending on a short term, nine week stopgap spending measurements. And they say if you won't agree with us, we're going to shut down the government. The kind of spending Democrats have asked for would effectively erase all the savings we achieve through the common sense spending reforms in the One Big Beautiful Bill.
