I'm pretty sure this was Paul Ryan's fault, and the rest of the public who continue to elect terrorists who continue the failed omnibus funding bills that the government uses to circumvent democracy and increase deficits that doesn't ever take into consideration our huge debt.
For the eager mind:
scan the text for state/district-specific appropriations, and match it against the Yes vote of that CD's rep.
for the lazy programmer:
write an app that does it.
Best one-line quote from the article.Originally Posted by Rand Paul
Extended version.Originally Posted by Rand Paul
Radical in the sense of being in total, root-and-branch opposition to the existing political system and to the State itself. Radical in the sense of having integrated intellectual opposition to the State with a gut hatred of its pervasive and organized system of crime and injustice. Radical in the sense of a deep commitment to the spirit of liberty and anti-statism that integrates reason and emotion, heart and soul. - M. Rothbard

The one I posted above was not the final passage. It wasn't there at that time. There were 3 votes.

So there were several (7 or 8) voting Yea to the first 2 that voted Nay on the final vote. Grassley, Vitter, Wyden are 3 I see at first look.

I looked around, from what I gather, the original bill had something in it that would increase deficit spending. Someone probably raised that as a point of order. To get around that, the Motion to Waive All Applicable Budgetary Discipline was proposed. I believe that means they can go into off-budget (like the social Security fund) to offset the deficit. Also, I think this motion required 2/3 majority to pass.
Here's something similar that was done for the Gang of 8 bill:

Why is Rand not storming the media about this? He needs to be screaming bloody murder. He needs to raise his voice, literally. I'm tired of his typical "we think we have the upper hand on this and we think it will be hard for Marco to explain why he didn't vote"...etc. He keeps saying he and the political class underestimated how angry the voters are but he's still doing it! I want to see some legit rants

That's the part where the Senate votes to "waive" the previous laws they passed to limit spending. It requires a 2/3 majority to pass. If it didn't pass then yes, it would hold it up, but McConnell wouldn't have brought it to the floor in the first place if he didn't already know he had 2/3 lined up, so it was a formality.
