The prospect of another economically and politically crippling government shutdown looms over President Obama’s talk of taking executive action on immigration next month and Republican threats to thwart him by blocking certain funding measures.
Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, told the Des Moines Register “all bets are off” for passing a continuing resolution if President Obama decides to take executive action on immigration.
“If the president wields his pen and commits that unconstitutional act to legalize millions, I think that becomes something that is nearly political nuclear,” King said. “I think the public would be mobilized and galvanized and that changes the dynamic of any continuing resolution and how we might deal with that.”

The money comes from the feds.
Without the money, the cards are as about as useful as a book page marker.

yup, they’ve rigged the system.
not completely...
EBT is done through the states.
The ‘blamelessness and the spineless’ Republicans have not done their job.
yup, they’ve rigged the system.
John Boehner is fetching the donuts...ain’t no shutdown gonna’ happen on his watch....
I revise my plan to deal with this by not defunding programs, but by defunding Obama. Personally. Make him pay for every trip on AF1, every meal, every housekeeper and cook, even utilities. Why should the American people be paying for this when he can clearly afford it himself. If he chooses not to pay, then HE can lay of all of those slaves...uummmm staff.
And now, given the lack of action on their part to stop this madness I extend the plan to include Congress. Defund every perk, every aide, every lunch server, the bank, the gym, the electricity for the offices. There is not one senator or congressperson who couldn’t and shouldn’t be paying for their own assistants/lunch/gym membership.
All it will take is one loud tea-party rep to get this started and get out in front of the spin. I think I’ll write Scalise, but with his recent ascent up the ladder, I don’t know if he would be the one to do it.
O2
I hope not.
