Basic civics here Goofy but I'm happy to educate you. Spending bills coming out of the Senate require enough votes to get cloture so it can be voted on. As you apparently do not know, cloture requires 60 votes which means some Dems have to vote for the bill. So the GOP had to compromise with them on entitlement spending in order to get some of their priorities funded. Hence the monstrosity so we could avoid the nonsense when Dems controlled both Houses when they never passed a budget.
Having said all that, it is obvious that the GOP lacks enough fiscal conservatives to tackle the real problem with our spending, entitlements. Fully 75% of the bduget is already baked in with these entitlement programs and then they fight over the scraps. There is a spending problem that neither party will meaningfully address. However, the GOP is clearly the lesser of two evils......but not by much.
