Shutdown Averted. House Passes CR 45 Days

In NOtVA it's not unusual at all for a couple to both be working for the .gov and pulling down near a quarter million a year net.

Yup. Almost all the dual-income government workers I know are living in $1 million plus houses. Some even have a vacation home in addition.

Isn't it amazing that nobody is saying what the details of the deal are?

That tells me that both sides have something they don't want the American people to know about.

It is obvious that the RINOs don't want us to know that they giving into the Democrat filth and allowing more debt and a continuation of big bloated government. That is shame.

What are the Democrats hiding? The fact that AOC and the Communists in the government are happy does not bode well for the American people.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Surprise, surprise a deal is reached at the last minute which is generally how this works out.

Democrats did. MAGAs could not get their shit together. So far MAGAs in Congress can only hold Gym Jordan hearings ranting about this or that. Actually passing legislation? That gets in the way of the cameras!

This guy needs to be prosecuted and sent to jail. I’m sick and tired of the two-tiered system of justice in which Republicans go to prison for years for trespassing and Democrats, especially if black, get excused and forgiven.

I'm just tired of today's "Negro Culture" in general. Hispanics can't replace them soon enough to suit me.

Biden bitch-slapped the GOP once again. How’d that taste?

The Dems / Socialists bitch-slapped the American public. More spending and more debt.

Untrue. The Biden administration didn't even roll back the Trump tax cuts, because they did generate revenue.

The Numbers Are In: Trump’s Tax Cuts Paid Off

Opinion | Federal Revenue Did Well Under the Trump Tax Cut

Go Figure: Federal Revenues Hit All-Time Highs Under Trump Tax Cuts

Moore: Trump’s tax cuts paid for themselves

Those are all opinion pieces.

Prosecute him.

Tell me what has been averted. It is not the fucking debt.

Republicans taking the country hostage and seeking to destroy the economy had nothing to do with ‘fiscal responsibility’ – it had to do with advancing the failed, wrongheaded, destructive conservative agenda.

You idiot.

Both the Democrats and the RINOs have fucked this country by creating a big bloated debt ridden out of control government and have no intentions of ever having fiscal responsibility.

There is no incentive for an elected official of any party to be fiscally responsible so it never happens. There are incentives for handing out taxpayer's money like it was candy. Just look how rich the Clintons got doing that and how the Bidens are increasing their wealth as examples.

Republicans kicking the can down the road to continue with the Democrat big spending for another 45 days is just another case of fiscal irresponsibility from our elected leaders.

Yes, dear. Controlling spending is taking the country hostage.

You're happy with the Dem / Socialist spending orgy. Super.

It's good for Virginia that they cooled their jets for 45 days so we can get our state elections out of the way.

How many times can you perform CR on a comatose patient before he doesn't get up again?

This is true. We need to get control of the state. Having just an R Governor isn’t enough.

Yeah, it might suck for the rest of the country but I live in Virginia.

Virginia first, all else after.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The threat of a federal government shutdown was suddenly easing Saturday after the House quickly approved a temporary funding bill to keep agencies open, once Speaker Kevin McCarthy dropped demands for steep spending cuts and relied on Democratic votes for passage.

The rushed package would leave behind aid to Ukraine, a White House priority opposed by a growing number of GOP lawmakers, but increase federal disaster assistance by $16 billion, meeting President Joe Biden’s full request. The bill would fund government until Nov. 17.

Government shutdown averted with little time to spare as Biden signs funding before midnight

Democrats didn't want to be blamed for shutting down the US Gov't over not funding Ukraine.

You stupid Moon Bat.

Debt is caused by welfare and entitlement programs and all these stupid government agencies that don't do jackshit but cost billions, like HUD and the Department of Education. It is caused by bailouts like what Gay Barry did for the Wall Street banks and auto industries. It is caused by foreign aid like Potatohead funding electric buses in India and giving the goddamn Isrealis billions each year for nothing. It is caused by funding Illegals, Obamacare, Obamaphones and useless Environmental Wacko projects like subsidizing the production of EVs anbd building charging stations.

It is caused by big bloated government that the filthy ass Democrats love so much and the weak RINOs go along with although they suppose to know better. It is caused by spending more money than comes in and it is caused by having the cost of combined government being almost 40% of GDP and still having to borrow trillions each year.

Prior to the Reagan administration the government had an easy time paying for popular domestic spending programs because the top tax rate never got below 70%, and was often much higher.
