This is possible if it is well thought out and implemented.

We are now talking about a series of spending bills that are the largest expenditures in the history of Earth.

We had one thought out and planned in a couple of months - now the people who passed it are wondering where the money went and what the result was.

Now they are about to pass a BIGGER one after a month's planning. There will be bigger ones to come this year.

Go ahead and tell me it is well thought out.
