The best way to fix a broken system is to SHUT IT DOWN, and THEN fix it.
Speaker Newt SHUT DOWN the US Federal Government in the 1990’s and it WORKED!
Clinton then took credit for balanced Federal Budgets, fewer people were in poverty, and all because Newt said NO !
The Liberal Agenda Media and the Democrats boo-hooed to this day, but Newt achieved success.

The only way to force a spoiled brat to behave is to punish, punish, punish.
The worst punishment that a Democrat, or RINO can imagine is to take away their ability to spend our tax dollars.
The best way to do that is to shutdown the non-essential parts of the US Federal Government, starting with mothballing Air Force One.
And that is not going to happen. Because if the people said no this is not the way it is, it would effect easy life they now enjoy via EBT cards , free [to them] Obama phones, free [to them] money, free [to them] housing, free[to them]food. Everything they need to live comfortable is free to them. The only out of pocket expense to them is the cost of their drugs. While this does not include all of the people, it does include close enough to 50% of the people and those included will fight tooth and toenail to keep their freebies. Hence, it will never change and as time goes by the ratio of parasites to producers will increase instead of decrease. And as the ratio of parasites to producers increases in favor of the parasites, they ]the parasites] will make sure that the Governmental control of the producers tightens. The politicians and those that control the Government understand this well,in fact, very well.
I told you what the solution...apparently you read selectively.
Clinton lucked out with what was going on financially...and he raised taxes...including the gas tax which hurt the poor. Later he said maybe he raised it too much.
Good. Shut the damned thing down today and send everybody home.
And nobody called the idiot in the White House (NOT Jay Carney) on the fact that a CONTINUING RESOLUTION is **NOT** a “budget”. The President and Congress - led by Dingy Harry and his Senate minions - have failed to produce a BUDGET for the sixth (?) year in a row.
Yup, Zipper-Boy Clinton added a nickel a gallon to our permanent pain at the pump.
...since drawing red lines has worked out SOOOOOOO well for him in the past....
Well if the GOP were smart they would announce that they are going to fund the govt at the level it was when the last budget was passed. I think that was five years or so ago. No need to increase the debt ceiling. See what Barry and Harry have to say about that.
