House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said House passage of a giant 'omnibus' spending bill is 'not going to happen' under GOP leadership, after Democrats approved last year's $1.7T bill.
Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, and other Republicans were outraged at the quick passage of the $1.7 trillion omnibus bill late last year, and argued Democrats were spending money the government does not have.
"Everything the American people is watching right now is a complete sham," Roy said after the late December vote.", a fraud being perpetrated on the American people right before their eyes, right as we head into Christmas." Roy and others also criticized the 18 Republican senators who allowed it to pass by voting for the mammoth bill in the Senate.
Republicans took control of the House just days later vowing to make sure Congress manages the federal government by passing spending bills that are deliberated in committee. A House rules package approved by Republicans says spending bills cannot be considered if they increase mandatory spending over a 5- or 10-year period, and that offsetting spending cuts must be found to cover new spending.
Those same rules also require all House committees to identify federal programs that still receive funding even though their congressional authorization has lapsed and eliminate a shortcut that made it easier for Democrats to raise the federal debt ceiling without a direct vote.On Tuesday, McCarthy discussed an even more powerful tool to rein in spending – requiring a more methodical approach to federal spending bills that requires consideration in committee and by both the House and Senate.
