Budget dramas, like TV murder mysteries, require a suspension of disbelief. In the end, the main characters will catch the murderer and the Democrats will get nearly every one of their priorities funded. No matter what.
Rep. Jamie Raskin is obviously going on MSNBC to brag about bringing home the pork, but there’s little reason to think that he’s lying. Apart from Ukraine, which the Dems don’t actually care about, they got what they wanted.
Before his victory tour on MSNBC, Raskin tried to make the case why endless federal spending is so vital.
I talked to a constituent this morning who’s the assistant director of gift shops at one of the Smithsonians, and she’s a federal contractor, as tens of thousands of my constituents are. She said, we live paycheck to paycheck. We don’t have a car. And her 19-year-old daughter is trying to save money to go to college. And so we’re talking about real people’s lives here.
Do we actually need an assistant director of gift shops at one of the Smithsonians or the Smithsonians at all?
All of this is being funded by people who do live paycheck to paycheck and their kids need to go to college.
Great job McCarthy.
Uniparty strikes again!

Actually, some of the dumbest people I know went to college.
Don’t waste the money , get a job and learn real life solutions
that work .
Exactly
Mark up the loss to the McCarthy side.
That’s what happens when the Dems control the Senate and the Republicans are gun-shy about shutting down the government.
Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.Hmm? How can the GOP “lose” when they’re the same party as the Democrats?

SOSDD
That’s why it doesn’t make any sense to vote for the GOOBers. Give them the White House, the House of Representatives or the Senate and they immediately begin working for the commie Demorcrats.
The dems are in control even when they are not in control. This way they can blame it on Republicans.
Of course the rats got what they wanted. Could the American people, legal and otherwise, expect any less??
We are spending ourselves into Hell, why stop a good thing (from the commie perspective)?
Is it because all the swamp dwellers worthless kids, grand kids, great grand kids, and all their wives, need useless jobs..?
Yep, it is Cloward-Piven on steroids.
Maybe in 2024, republicans will get out and vote. 4 seat majority is not great when we were supposed to have 30.
America loses
When you have the MSM on your side, anything you do or say can be blamed on the Republicans.
That's actually not true, if by "funded by" you mean taxes.
Income tax revenue is an unimportant componemt of Federal spending. Most of it is debt, and if you realize that all Federal Reserve Notes (what you refer to as "money") is issued as a debt on the Treasury, then ALL of the spending is debt.
If the income tax ended tomorrow, and they let you keep all of "your money", the government would go on just as before.
