No one reads the actual article. The point of the proposal is to cut spending by 1% every 90 days if Congress doesn’t have spending bill instead of a continuing resolution. It seems a step in the right direction. Wouldn’t seem to change the wall debate.

That’s one way to cut the budget. I don’t like it but something has got to be done about government spending.
Doubt Nancy will pass it in the House.

It seems so. But would a bill that's good for the true private sector or national security pass the current House? The House will pass a bill that allows the Legislative and/or the Judicial to have exclusive control over spending including pork. Policies implemented by lawyers between 1970 and 2015 have been rather destructive to the U.S.A.

Yeah, but 1% every 90 days doesn’t cut it ... that’s 1% over three months. Now, if they made a 10% or 20% cut every 90 days, that would be putting pressure on the lazy bastids ...
