The Speaker’s Foyer: The Identical Questions
SHARE

The questions are all the time the identical.

Be they within the aftermath of superstorm Sandy walloping the northeastern U.S.

Or the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore.

Or following the second try to assassinate a former President.

A DECISION TO MAKE: HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON’S GOVERNMENT FUNDING BILL DIVIDES REPUBLICANS

Have they got sufficient cash and assets?

Would the federal authorities present ample cash to assist New York Metropolis and the Northeast get well after the large hurricane spun by way of the most-densely populated hall of the U.S.? Mudslides worn out roads and bridges in Vermont. The storm drowned subway stations within the Massive Apple. 

What’s going to it take to rebuild the bridge in Baltimore? That invoice will come due in a yr or two.

And so the query now lands on the Secret Service after a gunman tried to fireside at former President Trump throughout a spherical of golf at Trump Worldwide in Palm Seaside, Fla. Does the service have the cash? Does it want extra assets?

Appearing Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe stated his company has “done more with less for decades.” Rowe says “we have immediate needs right now.”

President Biden agrees. 

“One thing I want to make clear. The (Secret) Service needs more help and I think that Congress should respond to their needs if they in fact need more services,” stated the president.

Senate Majority Chief Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. chimed in.

“We all must do our part to ensure an incident like this does not happen again. This means that Congress has a responsibility to ensure the Secret Service and all law enforcement have the resources they need to do their jobs,” stated Schumer. “If the Secret Service is in need of more resources, we are prepared to provide it for them. Possibly in the upcoming funding agreement.”

That’s a reference to the looming interim spending invoice to keep away from a authorities shutdown, due on the finish of this month.

However on Fox, Home Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., doubted that is strictly about monetary assets. Johnson argued this was a problem particular to former President Trump. And it was a human assets drawback.

“He’s the most attacked. He’s the most threatened. Even probably more than when he was in the Oval Office,” stated Johnson on Fox. “So we are demanding in the House that he have every asset available and we will make more available if necessary. I don’t think it’s a funding issue. I think it’s a manpower allocation.”

By Tuesday, Johnson cooled to the idea of showering the Secret Service with extra cash. 

“We don’t just want to throw more money at a broken system,” stated Johnson.

Different conservatives spoke out about boosting funding ranges for the Secret Service.

Veltri of the FBI Miami Area Workplace, Appearing Director Ronald Rowe Jr. of the U.S. Secret Service, and Sheriff Ric Bradshaw of the Palm Seaside County Sheriff’s Workplace attend a press convention concerning an obvious assassination try on former President Donald Trump on September 16, 2024, in West Palm Seaside, Florida.

“We don’t need to throw more money at the Secret Service. We need new leadership,” stated Rep. Mark Alford, R-Mo., on Fox Enterprise.

“We need answers more than the Secret Service needs money. In the real world, when you don’t do your job, you get fired. In the world of Washington, common sense is illegal. When you don’t do your job, you get more money because obviously you need it. You don’t have enough,” stated Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., “What the Secret Service needs to do right now is simple: do better.”

There was chatter that lawmakers may attempt to infuse the Secret Service with money by latching it to a still-to-be-determined interim spending invoice, often known as a CR, to sidestep a authorities shutdown in two weeks.

Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., who known as for former President Trump to drop the Secret Service and use personal safety, lambasted that concept.

“The American people are not stupid. They see it for what it is. They’re trying to attach the shiny bill to this CR to try and get it passed when the reality is, that’s not really what needs to happen. We need to stop the irresponsible spending,” stated Mills on Fox Enterprise.

“No. No. No. No. We don’t need more funding,” stated Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan. “They’ve got plenty of personnel. They got plenty of money. They need to prioritize where to be placing these Secret Service agents.” 

However, discovering the proper folks – and assigning them to the proper locations with the proper duties – isn’t straightforward. 

“You don’t hire them right off the street,” argued Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Unwell.

At a Home listening to earlier than she resigned following the Butler, Penn., capturing, former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle testified that she wanted 9,500 staff. However the company was solely staffed at 8,000.

Nonetheless, some Republicans had been extra sympathetic to a money injection for the company. 

“They seem to need more resources,” stated Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., including former President Trump prompt he wanted an even bigger element. “There’s only one way to do that: have enough money to hire enough agents. If you can even find enough people willing to do it.”

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., chairs the Senate panel which controls purse strings for the Secret Service. He argues that the risk setting is so harmful that lawmakers need the company to get “creative” about getting acceptable assets to protect protectees.

The Home is on the precipice of rejecting an interim spending plan pushed by Johnson to fund the federal government by way of subsequent spring. The invoice additionally requires folks show their citizenship in an effort to vote. That measure doubtless fails. So the Senate might counter with a straight invoice to fund the federal government – tacking on some help to the Secret Service.

Johnson denied that the Home would “get stuck” by the Senate if the Home faltered. However keep in mind, members of Jane’s Habit get alongside higher than some Home Republicans. Johnson lacks the votes to cross his personal invoice. So, if the Senate sends over laws with Secret Service help, the Home may simply need to eat it to keep away from a authorities shutdown.

“If increasing the funding is part of the solution, I’m for it,” stated Senate Minority Chief Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. “It would be politically beyond stupid for us to (shut down the government) right before the election because certainly, we’d get the blame.”

So this is similar query which arises after every disaster: may cash remedy the problem? It’s pure that Congress typically responds with cash. Spending authority is the final word energy on Capitol Hill.

Will extra {dollars} assist?

If Congress spends the cash and there are not any extra safety breaches, then lawmakers will argue the additional dough labored.

But when Congress spends the cash and one thing else occurs, it’s going to most likely spend much more cash.
