The Republican House does not control the government. How hard is it for people to understand that?

They simply don’t.

They are only one of the 3 prongs of approving legislation. The 2 other prongs can outvote them bigtime.

Funny thing perception is. I managed to stomach snip-it’s from two of the Alphabet Soup channels Sat. morning. The “experts” whom were questioned had The Cry Baby as the big winner.

Then the republicans should have made the dims vote to destroy America's economy and then spent up until the next election, explaining to every idiot in America, what it was that they did and what pain it is causing and will cause... but they took the cowards path.

BUT they control the purse strings, the budget.. THAT IS MAJOR..Bonehead made his mistake was by giving up a negotiating point. CLOSING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT.
Also the Repubs are looser. Ever hear a Dem say we only control 1/2 of 1/3 of the Government. No when they are in charge they are in charge. Bonehead should have started with $300 Billion and let them cut him down to $150 Billion, instead of ending three agencies he should have ask to close 100 agencies. BONEHEAD WAS GIVEN A MANDATE and threw it up.
