Almost in its entirety.

And by the usual suspects—-the GOP appropriators on Capitol Hill—who are the biggest fake fiscal conservatives to ever come down the pike.

Still more proof in the pudding is contained in the table below, especially the bottom three lines. These show total discretionary appropriations contained in the House passed funding bills for FY 2026 compared to levels previously signed into law by alleged Big Spending Dems—-that is, Biden's outgoing bills for FY 2024 and Obama's for FY 2017.

Of course, to hear the GOP pols tell it on the campaign trail and during their table-pounding appearances on Fox News, Joe Biden was the biggest spending miscreant to ever occupy the Oval Office. He was ostensibly the very reason that America needed a Republican Congress.

Then again, the discretionary spending level in the House GOP-approved bills for FY 2026 is $1.673 trillion. That is actually $5 billion higher than the alleged runaway spending contained in the Biden-signed appropriations for FY 2024!

And the culprit isn't just the War Party's defense spending increases, either. As shown in the second line from the bottom of the table, the House GOP's appropriation for all domestic spending agencies in FY 2026 amounted to $764 billion, which was 98.6% of Biden's ultra-bloated 2024 level ($775 billion).

That's right. In aggregate terms the House GOP embraced the sky-high Biden domestic spending levels virtually hook, line and sinker. Moreover, the FY 2024 Biden levels themselves had represented a 7.5% increase from the hideously bloated $721 billion pandemic bailout levels of FY 2021. The latter spending explosion, of course, had been the joint product of the two Trump pandemic bailouts enacted in March and December 2020 and another one known as the American Rescue Plan Act from the incoming Biden Administration enacted halfway through the fiscal year in March 2021.

This FY 2021 UniParty spending bacchanalia, in turn, had represented a ripping 30% rise from Obama's last domestic agency funding level for FY 2017 ($556 billion).

That's right. Even if you had granted a 2% increases per year for inflation, the FY 2026 appropriations for domestic agencies would have amounted to $664 billion in order to keep the Obama priorities in tact and hold the FY 2017 levels harmless for inflation. So what the screaming hypocrites of the House GOP appropriations committee have actually done is to fully fund an inflation allowance for Obama's priorities and then jacked-up the domestic appropriations by another $100 billion, to boot!
