The Dreaded Omnibus: How We Got Here and What Happens Next
b"
Everything you wanted to know about the dreaded 4,155 page Omnibus spending bill \\u2014 but were too afraid to ask. The history of how we got here, how it's supposed to work versus how it's working now, the politics at play in Washington, appropriations and authorizations, and how the heck a congressional office even digests a 4,000+ page spending bill in just a few days. This podcast won\\u2019t go into details in what\\u2019s in it (unless you want to hear me talk for 862 hours straight), but more about the process and how appropriations even work.\\xa0
Our guests today are two of Rep. Crenshaw's longest-serving legislative staffers. Matt Hodge is Rep. Crenshaw's Legislative Director and Hannah Anderson is the Legislative Director for his Energy & Commerce portfolio.
