Excellent comment by Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN):

Today I voted against another spending bill that didn’t cut a single cent in federal spending. It adds a trillion dollars to our debt, spends at the same level as when Nancy Pelosi was Speaker, and funds the Biden-Harris White House’s open borders, America Last agenda.

Nearly 60% of Hoosiers say they are driving less to save money on gas and families in Indiana are struggling to cover everyday expenses more than in any other state in the Midwest.

I will not go along with inflationary, Biden-Harris spending that has already made it impossible for working families to make ends meet. Now that this CR has failed, I hope that Speaker Johnson will put a spending bill on the floor that cuts spending and includes the SAVE Act.

Once thy remove the provision blocking Illegals from Voting, they’re gonna line up to pass it.

It’s only happened 307 times.

Who believes they’re not going to fold?

Tons of pro Trump people on X-com are pissed about those in the list here who voted to reject the measure (& vociferous MTG and Massie voted “present,” their reasons will not assuage lots of angry R, and like 4 Dems voted with the R’s also — suspect they were doing that only to not lose in close districts that want that.

Some understand like most here, but they seem less that the perhaps louder “pragmatists.”

Why be pragmatic when you are going to lose anyway? Senate no control, even if luck; FJB vetoes).

Might as well vote single issue.

I would like to see the gov shut down but the dems will blame us forever on that as usual.

Shut down gov saves money and prevents crap passing.

This of course assumes the Dems do not start WWIII all the way.

We need solid control of both houses, even filibuster proof in Senate, and R presidency and for ONCE to not have a worthless lame duck Congress, out of meaningful control for the good guys, to screw up our new president in office.

Sigh,
