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.
Maybe. But if you were a true conservative like Paul Ryan at that time you had a big chance to make some big changes but your ego was more important than your virtues.
Blame the last election. Republicans should have a twenty vote majority in the House, and a majority in the Senate. Biden made the election about student loans, and Lindsey Graham made it about abortion. The result - a Democrat Senate, and a mere five vote GOP majority in the House.
what are you going to do if Trump is on the ticket?
Dems got 45 days. Woo-hoo.
TRUMP and us said shut it down but iniparty rides again!
Republicans doing what they do best. Giving Democrats everything they want and apologizing for not giving more.
The complete that is the American system of government is becoming clear to anyone with open eyes. The emperor has no clothes and America has no “government of the people”.
…the complete charade…
Tough situation and it will only get tougher as time goes on.... and inflation destroys the dollar. It will take more and more money while no one in government is willing to say “no more.”
We are sliding down the slippery slope. Hold on tight.
Dems Brag They “Got the Vast Majority of What We Wanted”
But NO Ukraine money they lost their ass on that one.
Spin ensues
The DC UniParty wins again.
When are you going to end this pathetic imagination that there are Democrats and Republicans?
It is the DC UniParty, led by the DNC, with the GOPe as willing junior associates, the MSM as the propaganda arm and the Deep State as the Storm Troopers.
Until the MAGA Republicans replace the GOPe, the UniParty will continue to loot the Republic.
