The upcoming budget fight

[Crepitus]

They come back mid September with an October 1 deadline to fund the government in some way shape or form.

The GQP has decided to go back on their word and welsh on the agreement struck back in May to no one's surprise I would imagine.

What do you think will happen?

Personally I say let them shut it down and make McCarthy eat it.

 

[Leweman]

There are never any budget fights.

Meh, maybe Uncle RICO's band-o-turds should not have blown through all that Omnibus money so fast.

Shut it down if we don't get a border wall....It's just 11 billion or so as long as union labor is not used.

It wont matter. On 1-1-24 saudi arabia becomes part of BRICS and they'll make it illegal to trade in US dollars.

At that point the US dollar collapses and it's SHTF on a scale undreamt of in your philosophy.

Enjoy our last 4 months!

Why do you think there is a possible shutdown looming?

YOu guys really need to follow the real world for a change.

 

[Darkwind]

What needs to be done is to set the budget to 2015 levels, and then the surplus will be used to pay down the debt for the next ten years.

Republicans don't have that kind of foresight, nor do they have the spines to do it.

There is a shutdown looming because the Republicans will stick to the deal whereby they raised the Debt Limit and put a cap on spending. The democrats want to spend more in an election year. Not Happening.

That is the real world.

Your math is way off.
There is no surplus, there is a $2T DEFICIT due to the increase in borrowing costs.
The US just had its credit rating downgraded from AAA to AA+ because of the $32T DEBT and the $2T DEFICIT.

1. The US needs to remove the cap on SS to pay for SS
2. The US needs to raise taxes to get to a balanced budget. You cannot cut $2T from the Budget.

That is not what's happening. The aptly named "freedumb caucus" is demanding lower spending levels than the ones they agreed to earlier this year.

Expecting a conservative to keep his word is just silly these days.

Because fucking with our credit rating is what Republicans do…
