Politics is a nasty business. I’d rather stand hip deep in sh*t. Remember, everything...and I mean everything Congress does depends on getting the buy in of people you don’t like and would never have over for dinner. Let’s say you stick to your guns and, as a result, you won’t let anything happen. And nothing happening is exactly what would happen. Sounds great, right? You’re moral and ethical, etc. What happens to all the people dependent on business getting done? Elderly people waiting for a lifesaving operation. Thousands upon thousands of employees waiting for that defense contract that keeps them working. What happens to them? Well, they get laid off. They eventually go hungry. To avoid all of the bad things happening to regular people, the good politicians, by that I mean good people, step into the pile of sh*t and shake hands with people they wouldn’t invite to dinner.
My hat’s off. Glad it’s not me. And, by-the-way, if all the “right” things happened the way you or I’d like, with no input from the other side, we’d be in a full civil war. That’s the way the Founders designed it and that’s the only way it will work in the long term. You have to take a little sh*t with the sugar.
In a general way absolutely nothing matters than getting Trump elected. That means no upheaval.
No one is going to swagger about conservative this or that because conservatism is now defined as Drain the Swamp and Build the Wall.
It is on the fringe, pro 2nd amendment and abortion as being settled law, but primarily conservatism is those two items above. Trump redefined conservatism and that is forever.
Obsessing over spending is foolish. Money is created from thin air by the Fed. It cannot be a foundation of morality. How could anything created from nothingness be such at thing.
That’s the way the Founders designed it
In a way but............................
Right now the govt IS THE ECONOMY. Name me one area of life the govt is not involved in.
What is good for GM is good for the country is long gone.
Nothings will change till the money runs out. It has happened in history and will happen again.
There ain’t enough SUGAR to compensate for all the SH!T the DEMS ram down our throats!!!
TRAITORS!!!
That government is so entrenched in everything in our daily lives is the problem. Rip the bandaid off. Throwing good money after bad is not the answer because grandma’s check won’t come. Strawman bullshit. Grandma will get her check.
You pass a fiscally appropriate bill in the House and let the Democrats in the Senate do all of the stuff you just said.
The House is responsible for coming up with the budget. If the Dems don't like that they can either amend the constitution, pass the budget or take the blame for not passing it.
It's really not that tough.
Here is the secret....The Republicans pretend it is tough because they like spending all the money.
Let them eat cake.
