Republicans go on a deficit spending binge

AEI: Hey GOP establishment! Want to know why 59 percent of Republican primary voters are supporting outsiders, and the GOP electorate is so angry they don’t trust anyone who has ever held elective office?
Look no further than the disastrous budget deal outgoing Speaker John A. Boehner and Senate GOP leaders just negotiated with President Obama.
The deal raises discretionary spending by $112 billion over the next two years and suspends the debt limit through March 15, 2017, after Obama leaves office. The bill passed in the ostensibly Republican-controlled House only thanks to the near-unanimous backing of 187 House Democrats.
With deals like this, the GOP deserves Donald Trump.
Why am I not surprised?
