McConnell: House conservatives’ cuts WON'T happen in Senate, looming budget fight a ‘big mess’
The Washington Times ^ | Aug 31 | Wash Times

Posted on 08/30/2023 11:55:52 PM PDT by RandFan

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said at an event in Kentucky on Wednesday that Congress will likely end up passing a short-term spending resolution to avoid a government shutdown.

Lawmakers in the upper chamber are slated to return to Washington from their summer recess Tuesday and will have to hustle to either advance a dozen federal spending measures before the end of the month or produce a continuing resolution that will keep money flowing to the government.

Mr. McConnell said the latter would be more likely.

“I think we will end up with a short-term [continuing] resolution probably into December as we struggled to figure out exactly what the government’s spending level is gonna be next year,” the Kentucky Republican said.

We need to put a size 12 boot in his mouth. He’s a weak sister at a fraternity party.

Time to go join JoeBiteMe at the old age home for corrupt politicians.

Or, as they said in the Old West about their covered wagon convoy, “Do you want to join our team? We need another ass”.

The Senate has voted again and again to increase the debt limit such that Democrats and RINOs have brought this nation from under $6 trillion in 2000 to over $33 trillion by the end of this year.

$27 trillion ADDITIONAL debt in 22 years.

Democrats and RINOs.

$27 trillion ADDITIONAL debt in 22 years.

There is no rational reason for this except enormous corruption, narcissistic egos and Marxist-Leninist 'grind the public between the millstones of inflation and taxation.'

All spending originates in the HOUSE.

I wish these guy would get that through their heads.

Just pass the bills , send them to the senate.
Quit screwing around.

If the senate doesn’t want what you send ... tough.

Exactly. Pass the appropriation bills and send them to the senate. Dump them right in Schumer’s lap. Lay the shutdown rhetoric directly on the dems and Biden.

It’s a rather simple plan and extremely defensible to the public. ‘We did our job, The dems want to starve granny and shut down the government’.

EC

Golly gee, isn’t that amazing. A continuing resolution to December. Just like EVERY year since 2007.

And then in December we’ll have a continuing resolution till March.

And then we play the same “do nothing till September 30th again” game.

Well, he demonstrated his mental acuity when he went completely blue screen yesterday. It is way past time to send “Team Mitch” to the showers.

There is a spot of ground with his name on it and he will be a permanent resident soon. The parasites that are his staff and behind all this will just attach themselves to a new host.
