I don’t know, so many factors were lined up that would have made the fight at this instant to be extremely productive. Plenty of opportunities for liberals to throw their little fits, destroy private property, and honestly, as demoralized and as scattered they were, giving them any victory is just energizing for them.
Economically, least where I am, things just started boiling in the housing market, employment’s looking a bit better, and the newest round of taxes haven’t hit.
By changing the landscape to late summer, it simply allows liberals to get their minions out, do their marching societies and basically terrorize the nation. They’d do that anyway; but the public took it to be sore losers, now it will be ‘oh, so that’s, umm, how they get things done, I guess’
Now the ‘September Fight’ will be against people firmly convinced that they’ll get everything they want because everyone already folded to them already. And a public trained to understand that that’s just how they do things.
Sign that bill, you’ve given Democrats an open key to the wallets of every taxpayer (and the wallets of their great grandchildren.) Better for the president to be characterized at odds with all of Congress. Veto it, make Congress itself take full responsibility for porkzilla.
Well at least you articulated some thoughts on why you think this leads to more problems. While I don’t share your assessment, we won’t have long to wait as September if around the corner.
But then I just heard that President Trump tweeted today that the government needs a “good shutdown” in September.
He’s not changed or changing. He’s up for a budget fight. This was not the time or it. This was handling the bad end of a bad stick and moving toward the front.
