On Monday a New York Times investigation, “House Republicans Demand Deep Cuts to Spending Bills They Rarely Support” offered a throwback to the paper’s insanely biased days of ideological labeling. leaders are tailoring their government funding legislation to far-right lawmakers who are insisting on deep cuts, but who hardly ever vote for spending bills. members of the House have supported spending bills less than half the time over the last dozen years, according to a New York Times analysis of such votes since 2011. Some of House Republicans’ perennial objections to spending bills are procedural. A chart of members’ voting records on spending bills was introduced under the headline: “Hard-Right House Members’ Voting Record on Spending Bills.”They even threw in a “conservative firebrands in the House” reference near the end.
