Almost all media couches discussion of budget negotiations as “spending” when every budget has two sides, revenue and spending. This use of “spending” as a catchall gives Republicans a pass on their refusal to raise revenue. Even the term “fund” is squishy and doesn’t convey the need for revenue and Republican scorched earth policy where revenue is concerned.

Yes, but the current debate is about the appropriations process. Tax legislation is generally permanent and doesn't usually expire.
