>> The republicans were given a clear mandate last month and it meant nothing
The noobs are not yet in office.
Whoa. The Hill calls this an "obscure" tool? Isn't budget reconciliation the SAME method used by Demon Rats to pass the Death Panel Law?!
>>Head fake. They won’t do jack.<<
If they do NOTHING, we’ll probably be better off. Congress is in the business of BOHICA. Every time I hear the words “comprehensive” or “reform”, I shudder, because I know HICA. Face it, the House is already running for reelection, The Senate is either running for reelection or for President.
So, for all intents and purposes, the government is shut down. That said, the one thing I do hope to get out of this collection of liars, thieves and perverts, I hope it is an end to “unanimous consent to dispense with the reading of the bill”.
Why yes, funny you should remember that, this being an obscure budget tool.
It's labeled "obscure" when the GOP uses it.
Read Senate passes historic healthcare reform legislation in 60-39 vote | TheHill, By Jeffrey Young - 12/24/09. No mention of reconciliation being used to bypass cloture. That article has a bit of a giddy feel to it, in my opinion.
I ,think I could approach bonehead and stick my finger in his face ... "Don't you dare !!
“I’m to the point where I am hoping and praying for a complete collapse of the system to pave the way for John Galt.”
You and me both. The only hope I see is a complete reset, brought about by something so catastrophic that the sheeple can’t ignore it. Then we rebuild using the Constitution the way the founding fathers intended.
Galt is more of a rebellious way of dealing with the idiocy, something to do now. If we get to rebuild-and this will have to be done soon while enough of us that remember being taught an unrevised history are around - it won’t be necessary.
That said, we are creating our own ‘Hardin’s Hollow’ next year (we couldn’t find a gulch!) and will quit supporting the fascist beast with tax dollars and creating a self-sufficient lifestyle. And will be in an area ready to fight.
Do the same, if you can!
Many in office now will remain. They could easily have passed a short term budget, leaving a final one for the next Congress. But non-they funded AMNESTY for almost half of the next Congress’ term.
What does that say?
$ and proof?
Otherwise, disappear.
Let’s just say that I am from Missouri.
I can appreciate your optimism but the DC Democrat - Republican theatrics are nothing more than a good cop bad cop ruse and the people who actually control DC will still control DC come January 2015.
So why didn’t the GOP pass a one or two month spending bill until
the new congress was sworn in? And let the new congress have a say?
