Control spending... REALLY?

Where and when have we heard this being repeated ad nauseum before?

What happens when like under Bush Jr., Obama and even Trump, the budget cannot be agreed upon and we have another government shutdown and people start complaining about federal parks being closed and not being able to apply for passports ? Huh?

We've seen this movie replayed many times before.

I remember hearing the same old song in the 60s. They only get elected y buying votes. They used to give away our money raised with taxes. Now they just create unlimited amounts of money to give away and we pay through inflation.

“The power of the purse strings resides with the House,” — good luck with that. What are you going to do about it when he illegally gives away another trillion? Arrest him?

Not going to happen. The GOPe is just as unconstrained in their spending as the dhimmicraps. They are either side of the UniParty Challenge Coin.

Deficit reduction is still excessive spending...

In the black means payback... Never happen though.

More GOPE shilling from Townhall. The author was cracking up while writing this, I’m certain.

How to control spending:

Allow China to buy America and Washington D.C., and let them run things.

Oh wait a minute, already been done under the Democrats. Never mind...

It will all go down the same way it did when the tea party got Republicans to take over Congress during the Oboma years: They’ll get into a standoff with Biden over the budget which may result in a gov’t shut down, Democrats including Biden will go on a misery tour blaming Republicans for the shutdown just like they did during Obama years, the GOP will start getting wobbly knees and worrying about image then f I nally cave, just like they did during the Obama years, then the spending will go on unimpeded.....as usual.

Lol… Republicans and Democrats are on the same course which doesn’t include us. I only vote Republican because I “hate them” less.

The best way to control spending is to return to regular order and o back to department-specific budget bills. No more omnibus spending bills.

Then let the Senate deal with it. That will take away a lot of Schumer's power, and indirectly, McConnell's, too. They won't have a massive spending bill to negotiate their hidden pork. They will have to pass what the House sends them, and then defend why they refuse to approve spending for each department.

No more 2,000 page spending bills that "we have to pass to find out what's in it."
