Exactly! Need to hear this out of DC. No budget means the CR debate becomes the budget debate.

The bigger the bill the more mischief can be inserted.

Dems are sitting back and watching the GOP squirm again

There hasn’t been a regular budget since the clown show coup in 2008.

Every funding bill should have a reference to the Article I, Section 8 clause that justifies the expenditure.

Harry likes omnibus bills!

Of course, he does.

The bigger the bill, the more 'stuff' they can hide inside it. That way, they have to pass it to find out what is in it.

Then, it is like Christmas or birthday presents: surprise after surprise after surprise after surprise.

Keep it up, one bill at a time and let the Senate vote up or down and allow the clown sign or veto.

While we wait for the Senate to start begging the House to negotiate regarding passing a “clean” CR, the House should proceed to pass REGULAR appropriations bills and send them to the Senate.

The Senate prefers to pass “Continuing Resolutions” because such “omnibus” bills make it easier for the administration to create “slush funds” to pay for fraud in the next election.

IMHO, the House should debate and pass REGULAR appropriation bills and then chalenge (dare?) the Senate to do its Constitutional duty and complete the Annual Budget.

Ideally, Republicans will flood “talk shows” next week with quick, well-prepared debaters, who can make the media’s propaganda-pimps look as foolish as they are.

Omnibus funding bills are a lazy-man's load. That approach hides the inability of congress to make decisions and provides stealth increases in our taxes. It is far more Constitutional to send over one appropriation at a time, plus or minus the amount of money congress in its "wisdom" decides. Stop omnibus appropriations.
