There is a trick to this for Republicans. They can claim they want the $576 billion cap, while just putting a bunch of money in the Overseas Contingency Fund (meant for wars, but often used as a defense slush fund). So it greatly matters what they want for defense *with* OCO. — PolitiTweet.org

This tweet is gobbledygook to anyone who doesn’t obsessively follow this, but “conservatives” often talk about spending while voting for huge Pentagon plus-ups. Most Republicans want a defense number around $750 billion. The caps set in 2011 put it at $576 billion. — PolitiTweet.org

@J_Wade_Miller @RepChipRoy Then that’s not a very serious proposal to constrain spending. I don’t give anyone credit for being a fiscal conservative if they’re just saying “spend on the things I like, and don’t spend on the things I don’t like.” — PolitiTweet.org
