That's fine if you only want to consider what one side says. The other side says they were made aware of mandatory vs discretionary spending and so wanted to hold off and see if they could get an amendment passed. There was no chance of that, and the Dems were of course riling up the sheep , so they dropped it and passed it. Personally I don't have a problem with having congressional oversight over spending. Kinda their job.
