The whole reason we have an executive branch is that they're supposed to have a better sense of immediate priorities than Congress. 6 billion out of 1.5 trillion is less than 1%.
Congress is saying they know 99% of what needs to be done, but there's this 1% they're leaving up to others.

First of all, the "pipe dream" reconciliation bill is not $1.5 trillion it's more like $3.5 trillion.  It's pretty much your party's "green pipe dream" bill.

More of what's in the regime's spending bill.

$15 million for "resource centers for older people with sexual orientation or gender identity issues".

$3 billion dollars for "tree planting and 'tree equity'".  You know... because poor urban areas don't have the same number of trees as more wealthy suburban areas.

$300 million for "more frequent federal government 'environmental reviews'".  More government red-tape for businesses to deal with.
