Tom Cole: “What has been the trendline on discretionary spending over the last few years?”

The Senate has wasted the entire year and a half. They have not passed a single bill.

The only reason we’re doing it now is, first, the Senate Democrats, I think, have misused the filibuster, and honestly, the Republicans have let them misuse the filibuster.

We will engage where it matters, we will invest where it counts, and we will demand accountability for every dollar spent.

We want to take away the possibility of a shutdown between now and the election.
