      Given that it's an election year, I don't understand why Republicans wouldn't just want to stimulate the living 'eff out of the economy. One of the clearer examples of where ideological dispositions outweigh electoral incentives.

      It's possible they believe that. But, of course, parties almost always come up with electoral excuses/rationales when they want to achieve policy or ideological goals and given the current state of the pandemic that is among the thinner fig-leaves.

      You can literally force GDP to be positive with enough government spending, no? But there's probably a combination of genuine ideological belief (we had a similar fight in the Obama years) and "we're already screwed in November so may as well set down our marker now."

      Legit concern now about ramping up baseline spending to an unsustainable level in the out years

      That sort of happened with Obama too IIRC, as TARP was used to set a baseline of federal spending? I'm pretty sure a lot of Obama's claims of fiscal conservatism were based off that spend.

      Replying to @SeanTrende @CTIronman and

      And then you get "heartless Republicans gut budget" whenever they end temporary spending, while Obama claimed annual savings from the end of temporary war appropriations.
