In other words, “We’re going to pretend to be mad that the Democrats aren’t robbing Peter to pay Paul by forcing the VA to cut something somewhere to pay for this new coverage, because opposing spending new money on veterans is ‘fiscally conservative’.”

Nah, it’s not even that contrived BS, it’s just the GQP doing what they do best: Screwing up their faces as they mutter that the grapes were probably sour anyway. This is a purely juvenile play being conducted as “protest” over the Manchin-Schumer agreement being announced only after the CHIP bill got a vote. Trust me, if Sinema announced tomorrow that she would vote against the reconciliation bill and it failed, the “slush fund” would magically disappear and they’d rush to get a vote on this bill before November.
