I think the GOPe love it.

They get their amnesty, and their hands are clean.

But since they were elected into control of Congress, we can hold their feet to the fire now, can’t we? /s

As so many of us have already figured out, federal agencies like this one have found a way to subvert the congressional oversight and appropriations process by funding themselves through fees and fines. Looks like Congressional Republicans just woke up and figured this out too.

TODAY MY WALLET SLAMS SHUT!

Like most here on Free Republic, I call my representatives, who don’t listen to me.

I vote, I pay my taxes, I obey the laws, and I am a good, loyal citizen.

None of that makes a difference.

I am not going to take up arms. I am not going to march. I am not going to go on strike from work.

AND I AM NOT GOING TO SPEND A DAMN CENT THAT I DON’T ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO!

I will eat from my preps. I will only travel to and from work.

I propose a BROWN FRIDAY.

No Christmas presents, not Christmas Cards….NADA.
Thanksgiving dinner will be from our store of preps.

Please join me in this quiet revolution. If enough clamp down on spending now, we may make enough of an impression that even the Chamber will understand WHO really runs America.

Worst that can happen is we will have more cash available should we need it for more drastic action.

You can impeach him for failing to faithfully execute the duties of his office (among other things).

Divide up appropriation bills.

Pass bill that services the national debt, and attach rider that prohibits funding for amnesty/green cards (because it’s unconstitutional).

See if he refuses that one. Then go from there.

Throw this one back at the leftists from the 14 amendment section 4:

“The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.”

If he vetoes that one, then send up a simple debt funding bill. Go down the line with other bills. Never send up anything that includes funding for amnesty.

It’s impossible for the President to grant amnesty by himself, yet, here it comes!

Obama’s Czars

Queen Valerie Jarrett’s pay and perks

White House Rap and Hip-Hop parties

SWAT teams for the IRS, US post Office, the EPA, etc.

Global Warming research grants and anything else to do with the scam

Foreign Aid grants to Obama’s favorite muslim terrorist groups

If the Republicans were actually opposed to the shredding of the Constitution that Amnesty is, they would pass a budget that contains money for the operation of Congress and the military and NOTHING ELSE and refuse to modify it until the unconstitutional Amnesty and obamacare are vaporized,

The Republicans in Congress hold no good will and very little support from the American people and they are very unpopular.

The Republicans were given a second chance and put in power despite their unpopularity.

Republicans were given a very simple election mandate from the American people - stop Obama and his agenda, pure and simple.

If they don't get the message to fight the fight they were elected to fight, they will be out in 2016 either because the American public kicks them out or because Obama has won the fight and realized his goal of manufacturing a permanent Democrat majority by demographically swamping American Citizens with a Tsunami of imported illegal alien voters beholden to Obama personally

Congress has the authority to set fees. And reduce them, too.

It’s a clever half-truth.
They CAN ban the use of those fees for this.

Anyway the important issue is to NOT pass a long-term spending bill. Pay the bills only until January.

Nonsense! Defund the administrators. If they don’t show up to shuffle the paperwork, receive the payments, apply the payments, pay the bills, etc., then things will be at a standstill.

Completely false. Fees are how the money is raised, not spent. The Constitution is explicit:
No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law…
All Congress need do is add a rider stating: "No funds shall be drawn from the Treasury for x purpose."

While not directly funding that agency, there are other ways. Defund that part of the retirement system that supports the employees, defund Federal agencies that would provide entitlement assistance for that portion of the increase caused by 5 million illegals (reduce current funding by that amount - not increase ONE BIT), defund the State Department by a similar percentage, defund ANYTHING entitlement related by that similar percentage. Defund it and stick to it.
