I don't understand it. Doesn't the HOR write the budget. If they write a budget without funding for Planned Parenthood in it, how does the funding go anywhere? If Obama vetoes the budget, couldn't the HOR send him budgets for parts of the gov individually, NOTHING that funded Planned Parenthood? What's Obama going to do? Veto a budget for Disabled Veterans because it doesn't fund PP? (etc)

It the DC "conservatives" can't get something to Obama's desk that doesn't fund PP, their hypocrisy is part of the problem.

What am I missing?

“I don’t understand it. Doesn’t the HOR write the budget. “

THERE IS NO BUDGET. THE GOVERNMENT IS OPERATING ON A CONTINUING RESOLUTION.

means everything that Obama wants to spend is ok with the GOP in congress.

That is a huge sin and is causing the current deficit.

No accountability on our representatives as they do not have to vote on a budget.

Smoke and Mirrors.

“What am I missing?”

Nothing. It’s political theater; nobody has any intention of doing a thing.

The House passes a bill that they know the Senate will kill. That way House Republicans can show us what a great job they’re doing, and the Senate Republicans can show the country how they’re willing to stand up against the “extremists” and appear oh-so moderate.

Making an actual difference has never been the goal. As far as they’re concerned this is all working perfectly.
