Why Compromised/partial: McCaul voted Aye on H.R. 1 (roll 190, July 3, 2025), which mixed tax-cut extensions with large spending changes and added to deficits on standard budget scores. Inflation later cooled for many other reasons. The promise of 'meaningful spending cuts' in that term was not delivered as a net austerity program, so the rating is compromised/partial rather than kept.
