To manage things would mean to make judgments about someone not getting “their” check. That’s not a strong suit of Congress.

I ain't ready to let them off the hook. I demand they prioritize. How about you?

“I ain’t ready to let them off the hook. I demand they prioritize. How about you?”

I don’t want to sound like I’m discouraging you, but how do you plan on demanding anything? I vote for the most fiscally conservative candidates that I can vote for.

Congress is not going to make judgments on cutting programs - they ARE willing to discuss the relative merits of new spending programs, but collectively, never about cutting.

This is a GOP and a Democrat trait.

Short of tarring-and-feathering (which I am NOT against) - nothing will be effective.

I’m at a loss - how do you “demand” anything from a Congress that is never punished (pushed out of office in large enough numbers) for doing the wrong thing?

It won’t happen until the checks stop - and then the priority will only be to get the checks going again.
