Republicans Fold on Border Measures with New Spending Deal

[E. Pluribus Unum]

On Sunday, House Speaker Mike Johnson, together with Senate leaders, announced a new $1.59 trillion spending bill aimed at avoiding a looming government shutdown. Contrary to everything House GOP firebrands have been promising, the measure does nothing to address the ongoing chaos on the southern border. We discuss the official reasons Republicans are agreeing to this deal and if it’s become apparent that Johnson is no different than ousted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

We need to wall off our money via income and property tax caps in the federal and state constitutions.

There should be:
a. basic budgeting bills by department,
b. ongoing project budgeting bills by department,
c. new project budgeting bills by department.

The basic budgeting bills would generally only change numerically. Every year they could easily be made ready to go, keeping the government running smoothly.

Congress can easily add money, but once allocated it is tough or impossible to claw back.
