Repukes also voted against an amendment that taxpayers wouldn't be on the hook for the big beautiful ballroom.

Why would they do that?

At this point, all I've heard is that they knocked down the existing East Wing. I've heard nothing like construction will start ... Or architectural plans will be finalized ... Or the ballroom will be completed.

Maybe like with program legislation, he is better at destroying what was there than creating something new
