Congress is getting ready to shatter spending records. Hold on to your wallet!

Townhall's Brian Darling writes, "While all eyes are on Afghanistan, Congress is getting ready to shatter spending records with massive new spending plans. Hold on to your wallet!

This fall, Congress has to tackle a debt limit hike, appropriations, the Democrat reconciliation measure and a so-called 'infrastructure bill.' Congress is broken and maybe it is time for Republicans to block a debt limit hike like conservative Republicans attempted in the 2011 debt limit fight. That fight resulted in a provision in law, the Sequester, that was scheduled to trigger mandatory spending cuts if Congress did not abide by certain spending targets.

One way Democrats are trying to avoid a tough vote is to pass legislation to create a 'Resolution of Disapproval' mechanism so the Biden administration can raise the debt limit, Then, Democrats who are in trouble at home could vote against the Biden debt limit hike and this would allow them to make believe they opposed the bill to constituents. It is much like the most recent vote in the House, where Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) set up a vote on a deeming resolution that allowed Democratic moderates to vote for the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill with a rule that deems the Biden $3.5 trillion budget measure as passed without them having to vote for it. The bottom line is that Democrats know they are facing some serious headwinds next fall in the midterm elections thanks to a radical left spending agenda, yet they forge forward."
