Probably best to note that Obamacare is in the budget. If a Freedom Caucus member votes for the budget, he’s approving Obamacare.
And let’s be sure we understand the situation. ZERO Democrats are going to vote for anything at all. If there is any hint of cooperation, their base will primary them away. And they know it.
So . . . this means no budget, no defense spending, no social security checks. You want a budget that excludes Obamacare spending so you don’t face that? No problem. Find 60 votes.
Oooh, and let’s extrapolate.
No budget is great! A great conservative victory?
This means Dept of Treasury isn’t paid. All employees go home. Great!!! A victory?
This means US government bonds default. No one to pay the interest. That would be about 40% of the operating portfolios of every state. Not to mention no Medicare payments go out so your parents get no med treatment.
Conservatives have somehow forgotten that almost everyone in Washington D.C. is an enemy and a member of the Uni-Party.
How come Ryan was able to put together a complicated POS bill but the Freedom Caucus couldn’t come up with anything during the same amount of time?
Because they have no intention of coming up with anything to do away with O-care.
It will be the same with border control and any tax rate cuts will be small. There will be no major reform of tax policy.
It’s a Status Quo Caucus.
Or a Majority Leader that hasn't sold his soul.
