Well, a CR that locks in many major decreases in funding levels for many areas of government, decreases that were accomplished by executive actions. Specifically, by executive orders made in defiance of prior congressionally-approved funding levels. Such illegal rollbacks ought to be addressed in any new budgeting bills. You want to defund the CDC, pandemic preparedness, child cancer research, etc? You want funds to equip a new gold-plated plane? Ask Congress to do it, don't just do it yourself, illegally.

 

Yeah the Affordable Care Act being the piece of shit, dumpster fire that it is. We’ve had to subsidize the ballooning premiums. That’s what the fight is over chiefly.

 

Democrats to prop up the carcass of Obamacare by throwing good money after bad, Republicans are ready to cut bait.

@goat Nobody's asking the real questions here. What does renowned and celebrated actress Tilly Norwood think?

It's one of his best.  He's great at treating the Democrats as children.  I'm always curious how much input he has in it when they're created or if he just approves them.  Either way it's a banger.

@snarlcakes 23 million views on a boring fight over a CR. Great marketing. Democrats are going to be blamed for this in the eyes of the public.

Let the local governments and states take over.  As the great Dirk Nowitzki said, "Shut it down. Let's go home."   Minimize the impact of the Federal govt. amd maybe the fighting and BS will stop.

I am all for moving things to the local level that locals are in a better position to control for their citizens.  Things like education. But I don't think you really want individual states to decide things like access to basic health care. What if you are moving due to a job change.  Wait...I can't vaccinate my kids there, but I can here? My pregnant wife can't get the same prenatal care there as she did here? Indiana banned Tylenol? And vaccines? And abortions after teen rape? It would be almost as chaotic as if Illinois decided you drive on the left side of the road while Indiana decided you drive on the right side.

Someone needs to place a bill up that Congress does not get paid, nor receive back pay,  during a shut down.

@sig it will never happen because too many liberals are socialists that won't ever leave you alone.  It really is unfortunate.
