Impeachment achieves nothing, but the Inquiry has the potential to obtain more evidence for public consumption.
Subpoenaing Hunter accomplishes nothing with this additional evidence as he will plead the 5th and whine about "on-going investigation".
As for the budget, the shutdown accomplishes nothing. The deal McCarthy had would have the largest budget reduction in the last 40 years. It involved the use of Continuing Resolutions, which provided opportunity for improvement.
Gaetz is neither hero nor genius in this move. Just another self-promoting cog who refuses to take yes for an answer.
Largest budgets reduction in 40yrs…..
While the border remains non existent and millions more pour in.
While we send another $300million to Ukraine to pay their bills.
@60Minutes
60 Minutes discovered the U.S. is financing more than weapons in Ukraine. The government is buying seeds/fertilizer for farmers, paying the salaries of 57,000 first responders and subsidizing small businesses.
Is the US government helping farmers in the US?
You make good points, but let’s assume Gaetz and the few fold and take the “deal”.
Do you really believe anything will change or will we face the same argument next year?
At some point, people must take a stand. I don’t know if this is the right time or not, but if not now, when? In a sane world we would cut 2T from the budget (deficit), secure the border (the law), and rein in the bureaucracy.
None of that will happen with the deal. If I am in debt for more than my annual salary on a credit card is it “good” that I only add $900 to my balance instead of a $1000?
Just honest questions and no snark intended..... I don’t know the answer to this one but I do know that we have had this “fight” many times with the GOP claiming victory yet the deficit still explodes and now it is getting worse.
The past victories appear to be lies because nothing has changed and I believe that is Matt’s point. It’s groundhog day.
“””The deal McCarthy had would have the largest budget reduction in the last 40 years. It involved the use of Continuing Resolutions, which provided opportunity for improvement.”””
Wow!!!!
My recollection is that that McCarthy was in charge of the DEBT CEILING NEGOTIATION in December 2022 when the NATIONAL DEBT was $31 Trillion.
We past $33 Trillion a week or so ago.
So is this McCarthy’s way of “””providing opportunity for improvement””””???????????????????????????????
