Democrat shutdown question

[Missouri_Mike]

Does this sound about right?

Let’s say the GOP gives them the 1.5 trillion in spending in the Senate.

That’s not what passed in Congress. So now this new funding bill needs to go back for their approval. That would take what, three weeks minimum, if it ever passed. In the mean time the entire government is still shut down.

It is time to end this madness, when we elect a president we should get a 4 year budget, not yearly.

And we need to stop our politicians from giving away our technology and manufacturing. Politicians have too much power.

The bill already passed the house. A clean CR bill without pork or any special interest spending that would keep all government functions going until Congress and the President can hammer out the major spending bills to run the government for the next 12 months.

The rules keep those spending bills from being filibustered to death though so the Democrats are demanding that 1.5 trillion be added to the CR however unnecessary and irresponsible it is. A CR can be filibustered where an omnibus spending bill cannot.

It requires a 2/3 vote of the Senate to break a filibuster. All Schumer needs to do to get the government back to work and the money flowing again is to allow the bill to go on to the President's desk.

Enough Senate Republicans voted for the CR to pass it but there aren't enough Republicans to break the filibuster. The ONLY thing holding it up now is the Democrats' filibuster that will not allow it to go on to the President's desk for signature.

P.S. The Senate is one of the chambers of Congress.

If the Republicans cave in like they are known to do, they will then be the primary culprits when it comes to increasing debt. The media and left will not hold Democrats accountable at all.

Frankly, I think an extended shutdown will be a good test of the resiliency of the nation. The size and scope of the federal government must be reigned in. The national debt clock now has the national debt at over $38 Trillion. More than half of federal revenues now must be spent just to pay the interest on that debt.

Even if it were added to the CR, that $1 Trillion the Communist party wants will probably not make it to the citizens on the ground in the form of realized health care. At best half of it, and the other half will make its way into the back pockets of the loyal party members as a reward for their support.

We cant eat or go to the doctor without the government. I must vote democrat if I want to live.

I need a government office in my house. democrats complain that republicans are oppressive yet democrats have half the nation 100% dependent on the democrat party for life itself.

seems like we should be able to survive without the federal government, we are in sub governments called states
