But we cannot ignore the fact that there are not enough conservatives in the Senate to pass a conservative budget.
The Republican party *IS* the party of big government, crony capitalism, and corporatism.
The ignorance level of these facts among “republican voters” is staggering.
Go, team, go!
Go, team, go!
Go, team, go!
LOL - they’re pretending the Republicans would have repealed Obamacare if not for this?
Breitbart is trash.
“WHY is this guy bowing to any RAT?”
There was no bowing involved...both got what they wanted.
And, Americans will suffer.
Breitbart is crap.
The budget deal repealed the death panels in Obamacare. Piece by piece, that law is being dismantled. No more mandate, no more death panels.
It was decided that it was Schumer’s turn in the Washington mafia.
If you have been following Q you know how important this military funding is, The President needed 2 years of funding, had to cut a deal with folks he is going to throw in jail, assassinate or allow to commit suicide.
A “$300 billion, two-year budget” (headline)? So $150 billion per year? In other words, they shrank the government by 97%? Ooh-rah!, WINNING!
(Yeah, I know it’s a $300 billion increase, but gotta love that headline!)
The headline implies the Republicans wanted to get rid of it in the first place. They didn't.
McConnell isn’t the real problem here. There are at least a dozen Republicans in the Senate who are 100% behind most of ObamaCare’s provisions.
Funding for border wall excluded.
Bending over is what McConnell does best - too bad it’s the People who get the real reaming.
Th was not the final 2 YEAR bill and the article is obsolete.
All that's missing is the post.
It has to be done in pieces and it is.
Patience Grasshopper.
“Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) struck a deal on Wednesday to fund the government for two years, featuring substantial increases in domestic and defense spending.”
Big government party teams up with big government party.
I guess you could call bending over and grabbing his ankles "bowing", but I'd all it something else!
For all his faults - and he has many - I will be forever grateful to McTurtle for saving the Republic by denying Zero the opportunity to fill Scalia’s SC seat. It was Zero’s final solution to destroy America.
Somehow, some way we will never understand, McTurtle found a spine at one of the most crucial moments in our history.
That said, what has he done for us lately?
The fact the compromise was struck indicates that there was not a problem
Adequate measure have been taken and will be taken to effectively render Obamacare dead.
