“Don’t blame me. Campanis is the #@$&ing guy!”
They are in charge of allocating money, he is in charge of carryig it out.
They gave him a credit card with a spending limit. Stop spending when you reach it.
He can stop spending and spread it 1% across the board. The american people would LOVE HIM FOR IT.
If a debt ceiling bill doesn’t get to Trump’s POTUS desk then those two will get the most blame but Trump doesn’t seem to understand that he is POTUS and its his party, so he will be blamed too.
Same with repealing Obamacare.
Putting up bills without having the votes (failing to pass them) was portrayed generally (not on talk radio) as Trump’s failure and humiliation, and that was inevitable.
Trump is making some Turtle Soup and Weasel Pie
I’ve always said that Trump should let folks know that he does not support paying people to stay home and do nothing. His OPM, in its directions to federal agencies, should state that federal “workers” who are furloughed need to apply for unemployment benefits, just as folks in the private sector do. The employees should also be informed that there is no guarantee that they will ever be called back to work and that there will be no backpay for the days that furloughed fed employees don’t work—the only backpay will be for the “essential” employees who continued working.
Trump needs to tell Congresional leaders that he will veto any bill providing for “back pay” or non-working federal employees.
Nothing else needs to be said.
Huh? The democrats don’t want to raise the debt ceiling? Ok, where’s the problem? Don’t raise it. Cut the spending, cut the government.
bttt
The Republicans have a 47 vote majority in the House, a 2 vote majority in the Senate, a majority in every committee, the debt ceiling can’t be filibustered, what exactly are the Democrats doing that is holding them up?
The joke of course that even if there is a Government shutdown, there really isn’t a Government shutdown.
