On Thursday, House Republicans proposed amendments to the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill in an effort to divert funds from the 1,500 acre Presidio Park and Golf Course.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed amendments were shot down by the Democrat majority House, with Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) saying Pelosi deserved the money because she \u201cdoes more for America than any other member in Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">When defending his spending agenda, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@POTUS<\/a> asked \u201cwhat would they have me cut?\u201d Now Speaker Pelosi is using the same line to defend the Democrats\u2019 $3.5T tax &amp; spending spree, the priciest bill in our nation&#8217;s history.
