Can the House do this on its own or does it have to pass Dingy Harry?
It has grown bloated and it’s overreach knows no bounds, which is why it not only should be subject to these budget cuts, but it should be abolished altogether.
Indeed. NRST excise solves it.
All bills must be signed by both houses and the president. Spending bills must originate in the house... [at least that's the constitution - i think there's at least one lawsuit now at federal level challenging 0care on those grounds.]
If the last six yrs is a predictor, Harry Reid's Senate will not take up the bill - they will call for a "clean budget" that funds everything or they'll shut down the gov't again - and blame repubs again.
Let's hope we can take the Senate - that would be a political game-changer wrt budget bills. 0bama would have to veto them... that would obviously make it harder to blame repubs.
It is my understanding that Dirty Harry and the Senate have to approve these cuts. I could be wrong.
it will be killed in the senate, unless enough democrats are afraid not to vote for it cause they are up for reelection...
The House has to refuse to budge.
If the Senate fights them, then the entire IRS affair hits the news. Democrats get to decide between defunding or the people finally learning what’s been happening.
And the people are NOT going to complain about the enforcement arm of the IRS being cut. For my part, there’s not a lot of love lost for the IRS.
