Sorry, but, you are wrong. Spending bills originate in the House, but, also must pass the Senate and be signed by the president.

Know your government and how it works.

Unlike you, I DO my government and how it works. What the Senate and/or President do or don’t do is IRRELEVANT!!!! Not one cent can Constitutionally be spent without the approval of the House. That’s the facts.

Yes, the House can’t adopt a budget on its own. But neither can the Senate or President. If the House stands its ground, the only choice the Senate and President have is to either sign off on it, or not. If not, then the government stays shut down until they relent. And the longer such a shutdown lasts, the clearer it will become to the taxpayers how much the DON’T NEED ALL THAT SPENDING!!!!
