>>Now they intend to convince you they are going to fix it, if you vote for them just one more time.<<
Well, that’s nonsense, of course. They have 45 days to “fix it” once Trump orders any particular rescission (a devil of a word to spell, by the way...maybe that’s why it’s so rarely used?). By election day, we’ll know whether Trump issued any requests to rescind spending, and we’ll certainly know who supported him and who didn’t. That could clarify matters considerably when it comes to voting in or voting out certain people.
Trump should start with some obvious boondoggles (You know they’re in there), stuff that even some Democrats can’t really support when their voters are watching, and then move down the line item by item, ending with that half billion dollars earmarked for Planned Parenthood. Was it really a half billion? See, once you focus on a particular number, it starts to sound even more outrageous.
And take them one at a time, or a few at a time, not as a total package. Make our Congressman vote aye or nay on some real doozies. It should make a hell of a show.
“It should make a hell of a show.”
If it was going to happen, it would have happened a month ago.
Well, yeah- a rescission of obvious boondoggles could be done.
Could be a good-sized amount too.
The problem is throwing in political ‘poison pills’, like abortion. 60 House RINOs win by voting for it; 15 Senate RINOs win by voting for it and 2 Senate RINOs win by voting against it- killing it.
The numbers don’t add up.
If I see a ‘clean’ rescission come from the House I’ll cheer like crazy. But I don’t expect it.
