Congress has the power to shut down expenditures being wielded by Biden. He has NOT the power to do it. The Treasury (run by Yellen) is party to this theft of public money.

Cut them off. Cut off the funding. Either make Johnson do it or hold onto him for now and replace the Congress members who continue to support him

How is this to be accomplished with a 1 vote majority, and a bunch of squishy Republicans?

Speaker Johnson cannot just order it to happen.

Yes, the House of Representatives has the power of the purse. But Republicans have a very tenuous hold on the House, and they do not have control of the old Media and tech oligarchs, who are undercutting them at every turn. They also do not control the Senate.

So, yes, we need a strong majority in the House, and we need to build more Conservative media as a defense against the constant propaganda onslaught by the old media and tech oligarchs.

Nobody wants to risk their positions of power taking away funds. Sadly republicans ,economically speaking are not conservative. The funds buy votes and if one party runs on doing nothing but funding things- the other side fears losing elections thanks to attempting to be financially disciplined . Term limits solve alot of this crap. Once again- will never happen. Self preservation
