The Growing Conservative Case for Strengthening Congress

Lee Drutman wrote for Vox's Polyarchy about the discussion around congressional capacity building: 

The consequence is that self-inflicted budget cuts have left House offices scrambling to retain staff, and thus less capable of responding to a president who has finally decided that he is going to stop begging for permission or asking for forgiveness.

Now, a few thinkers on the conservative side are coming around to the view that cutting congressional funding to prove a point turns out to be at best pointless, and more likely counter-productive.
