I answered that in my second paragraph. They've proven they're incapable of developing a budget that doesn't balloon. Non-discretionary spending is through the roof, as evidenced by their demand of latching spending to the 2022 budget levels. That's last year. How is this extreme or outside the realm of even negotiation?
