House GOP Outraged by Senate Megabill: ‘How Did It Get So Much Worse?’

Leaders within the House Republican caucus have openly criticized the Senate’s recently unveiled budget megabill,condemning it as an unprecedented surge in federal expenditures combined with broad policy mandates. They argue the legislation’s scope far exceeds typical budgetary adjustments, incorporating contentious programs that threaten fiscal duty and conservative values.

• Projected spending increases raise alarm over ballooning deficits
• Inclusion of expansive environmental and social initiatives
• Lack of clear transparency regarding allocation of funds

A senior Republican aide expressed exasperation, stating, “How did this get so much worse than expected?” This sentiment reflects widespread dissatisfaction with the Senate’s negotiation process, which many in the House view as exclusionary and lacking fiscal restraint. The House GOP perceives the bill less as a bipartisan compromise and more as an overextension that jeopardizes economic stability and sidelines core conservative priorities.
