After the second attempt to assassinate Trump, the same questions are raised in the Speaker's Lobby.

The questions are always the same.

Be they in the aftermath of superstorm Sandy walloping the northeastern U.S.

Or the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore.

Or following the second attempt to assassinate a former President.

Do they have enough money and resources?

Would the federal government allocate enough funds to aid New York City and the Northeast in their recovery following the devastating hurricane that hit the most densely populated region of the U.S., resulting in mudslides that destroyed roads and bridges in Vermont and subway stations that were flooded in the Big Apple?

In a year or two, the bill for rebuilding the bridge in Baltimore will be due.

The Secret Service is now responsible for investigating the gunman who attempted to shoot at former President Trump during a golf game at Trump International in Palm Beach, Fla. Does the agency have the necessary funds? Do they require additional resources to effectively carry out their duties?

Ronald Rowe, Acting Director of the Secret Service, stated that despite having accomplished a lot with limited resources for many years, his agency currently faces urgent requirements.

President Biden agrees.

The president stated that Congress should respond to the (Secret) Service's needs for additional help if they indeed require more services.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. chimed in.

"Schumer stated that Congress must take responsibility to provide the Secret Service and law enforcement with the necessary resources to prevent a recurrence of such an incident. He added that if the Secret Service requires additional resources, Congress is prepared to provide them in the upcoming funding agreement."

The government shutdown can be avoided by passing an interim spending bill before the end of this month.

Johnson, R-La., a House Speaker on Fox, questioned whether the issue was solely about financial resources. He believed it was a problem specific to former President Trump and related to human resources.

"Johnson stated on Fox that he is the most attacked and threatened, even more so than when he was in the Oval Office. As a result, he demanded that all assets be made available to him, and he is prepared to acquire more if necessary. He believes that this is not a funding issue but a matter of manpower allocation."

By Tuesday, Johnson had grown skeptical about the idea of allocating more funds to the Secret Service.

Johnson stated that the solution to the broken system cannot be achieved by simply throwing more money at it.

Other conservatives spoke out about boosting funding levels for the Secret Service.

Rep. Mark Alford, R-Mo., stated on Fox Business that instead of throwing more money at the Secret Service, what is needed is new leadership.

"Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., stated that the Secret Service needs to improve its performance, as common sense is illegal in the world of Washington and when you don't do your job, you get more money."

Lawmakers may attempt to allocate funds to the Secret Service through a yet-to-be-decided interim spending bill, known as a CR, to prevent a government shutdown in two weeks.

Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., criticized the suggestion of former President Trump to use private security instead of the Secret Service.

Mills stated on Fox Business that the American people are not gullible and can see through the deception. They understand that the shiny bill is not the solution, and the focus should be on stopping irresponsible spending.

"Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan, stated that "No. No. No. No. We don't need more funding." The Secret Service has "plenty of personnel" and "money," and they should prioritize where to place their agents."

Assigning individuals to tasks and positions is challenging.

According to Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill, you shouldn't hire people directly from the street.

During a House hearing, former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle stated that she required 9,500 employees. However, the agency had only 8,000 staff members.

Some Republicans were more sympathetic to providing funding for the agency.

"According to Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., the former President Trump recommended that he needed more resources. "The only solution is to have enough money to hire enough agents," he said. "Finding enough people willing to do it is another challenge entirely.""

The Senate panel, led by Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., has control over the Secret Service's budget. Murphy contends that the current threat environment necessitates the agency to be "creative" in obtaining the necessary resources to safeguard protectees.

Johnson's interim spending plan may be rejected by the House, as the bill requires citizenship proof for voting. In response, the Senate may propose a straight funding bill for the government, including assistance for the Secret Service.

Johnson denied that the House would "get stuck" by the Senate if the House faltered. However, members of Jane's Addiction get along better than some House Republicans. Johnson lacks the votes to pass his own bill. Therefore, if the Senate sends over legislation with Secret Service aid, the House might just have to eat it to avoid a government shutdown.

"Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky, stated that he supports increasing funding as part of the solution, adding that it would be politically unwise to shut down the government before the election, as they would likely bear the blame."

After every crisis, the question arises: could money solve the problem? It's natural for Congress to respond with money, as spending authority is the ultimate power on Capitol Hill.

Will more dollars help?

If Congress spends money and there are no security breaches, lawmakers will claim the additional funds were effective.

If Congress spends money, it may end up spending even more.
