And will probably find excuses for not doing anything after October.
Why cannot the next session exercise their constitutional authority to weild their power of the purse and rewrite or submit a new budget or patch job?
Would Pelosi abide by an expenditure bill written by a previous session that extends half way through her session, taking away her power to make law regards allocation of funds?
And when the house clips the purse strings of Tyranny, the senate dims will shut down the government. The propaganda media will blame the pubbies. The turtle will whine like a scalded dog. The pubbies will fold in less than three weeks. The house will never do anything else to try and control the government. Been done before.
Madrid 1936
Exactly. Cut off the money. No paychecks.
The House can’t do anything about the purse strings until October 2023, thanks to the passage of the Omnibus bill, which essentially left the budget under Pelosi’s control until the end of this fiscal year.
If the House GOP were united and thought strategically, they could start the next budget planning cycle in early 2023 by putting forth some serious red lining like 80% reductions in most of the letter agencies. Heck, I’d even allow $200B in pork to get votes to eliminate $1 Trillion from the agencies.
Realistically however, it’ll be the same goat farm next year.
Last time the House really tried to rein in the spending was in ‘95. Even then they just had a lower spending increase. Remember “draconian cuts” and the little kid with the hot dog? The squishes we will get next week could never withstand the onslaught that is coming.
Does anyone think they would have complied?
Seriously, it is all going to be smoke and mirrors for the next 2 years. And republicans will be crying on TV and in their morning coffee they cannot deliver on justice for the American people.
Nary a word that non-compliance is a form of high crime...
Now the Biden administration needs that ‘big’ distraction. You know like waves and waves of Covid or nuclear war...
The Omnibus bill passed both houses of Congress and was signed by the President. The new Republican controlled House can pass whatever it wants, but the Reps don’t have the votes in the Senate and the WH will not sign it regardless. Elections have consequences. You can’t unring a bell.
This is the core issue. That a bell cannot be unrung.
Four years of Trump's achievements, for the good of the country, which the country benefitted from greatly, was unrung piece by piece, right before my very eyes.
The whole country's direction has been dismantled, altered, replaced, and simply accepting it as unable to unring a bell is unacceptable.
The opposition (communists, regardless of their chosen moniker), do not accept defeat, look at it as a bump in the road, and calculate and discover new ways around it to adapt and overcome, while the patriotists grind their teeth, pull their hair, and wait for the next election, where they hope to do better, and perhaps curb a few of the unending assaults on the country and the Constitution.
The underlying problem is not the impossibility of unringing a bell, it is the fear, or stated belief, that the status quo is settled science, therefore the foundation cannot be disturbed, only added to or altered in cosmetic fashion.
Patriots cannot win against communists, while playing with the communist's rules. Rules thought up and placed in position by communists, to which the hold the feet of their opposition.
Elections do have consequences, and that is why communists have planned and executed election variances in order to control the vote.
Continuing to play by their rules, and not exercising the power gained by being voted in (declared the legal representative of the people in the House) not only further contributes to the ongoing communist takeover, but it also further disenfranchises and causes patriot voters to skip the charade. Which in and of itself is one of their goals.
And nothing will be done to force them to cooperate. No court, no committee, no one at all. Rules are different for democrats.
Then the GOPe will talk of “principles” and “high roads” and that will be that as everyone insists it’s time to “move on” and pass “bi-partisan legislation”. I’ve seen this movie before.
“ I am in my 60s so I probably don’t have that many years left (I am middle aged if I live to be 130), but I deeply regret the mess that we will be leaving our children and grandchildren. ”
It was our generation, yours and mine, that allowed the final destruction of the American Republic…and the American nation.
Not a great legacy for us.
