Swalwell: Funding Bill Wasn’t Better than Original, But I Wanted to Avoid Shutdown
Breitbart ^ | 12/21/2024 | Ian hatchett

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said that the government funding bill that passed the House wasn’t an improvement on the original bill, but his goal was ensuring there wasn’t a shutdown.

Host Sara Sidner asked, [relevant exchange begins around 5:30] “Do you think it was better than the original?”

Swalwell answered, “No, but my prerogative was to make sure that the hard-working employee who serves our veterans or keeps our airports safe with the TSA or is monitoring air traffic as an air traffic controller, that they get paid for the work that they do. This wasn’t perfect. This was completely unnecessary, Sara.”

“Swalwell: Funding Bill Wasn’t Better than Original, But I Wanted to Avoid Shutdown”

Sounds pretty powerful coming from a nobody.

1400 fewer pages of spending on things like Congressional raises, football stadiums and hiding the internal information of the Congressional January 6 star chambers, so of course Swalwell would think it was worse.

Dems lost virtually everything to deny Trump the chance to hang a Christmas shutdown on Biden.

Big win for DOGE. If not for Trump and Musk they would have passed the 1500 pages of pork and garbage.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA). I wouldn’t have minded a bit if the government shutdown, as long as I got my Social Security, which is set to increase a whopping 2.5% in January Eric. Thanks for all your hard work for a retired working man like me.
