How much did Inflation Reduction Act give them?  $80 billion?  So another case of "that was then, this is now."  And when Congress earmarks some of it for specific projects, they have to spend it on those even though other programs are starved.  Of course, the "Defund the Police" crowd also wants to defund the IRS.  Oh, wait, those are two different crowds.  One of them is rich.
