"Easy fix is shut down the government and go on continuing resolution for next two years. That way the current budget (big) is kept at current spending levels."
Well said.

Spending bills originate in the House, but doesnt the senate have a role in the process?
Of course the Senate has a role. But if things don’t pass in the House, they simply don’t get done. That said, the Dems aren’t really used to a President who is ready, willing, and able to call them out on it. I have no idea how this will all play out, but if the House cuts military spending, President Trump will respond. The House will pass one spending bill, the Senate another and then it will go to conference committee. What happens then is anybody’s guess. But Trump will fight back.

These days they could probably find some azzhat judge that would say POTUS can’t veto stuff. Course, if it were Ebola, then EO is the law of the land.

My hunch is that the crazies will send bill after bill that defund the military and push carbon free bills. A showdown will start in the Conference committees obviously, but President Trump is possibly going to break them with major campaign events all over the country. IMO.
