The best I can say about this is that I am not “totally” disatisfied with it...it wasn’t even supposed to be a budget the GOP had any say over as it should have been passed last year...likely with significant spending increases, so the fact that $40 billion got chopped from a budget that should have been all Democrat is just a bonus.
Our political capital would be better used on our own budget - the coming fiscal year. That’s where the real battle should be and will be, and the longer spent on the remainder of this current year’s budget the less capital there will be on this, including efforts to highlight more of the outrages in the Obamacare bill, for which they should start having an ‘outrage of the month’ - focusing on one piece of the legislation at a time through hearings, public forums, etc. to keep it in the news and keep it fresh from month to month by focusing on different aspects of the bill. The public gets fatigued fairly quickly with the same debate, and jumping from thing to thing causes the message to be unfocused.
Amen to that- I totally agree.
