House Republican leaders presented their rank and file with a one-month spending bill Tuesday aimed at keeping the government open ahead of a Friday night deadline, as hopes for a deal on young undocumented immigrants faded.

The bill would extend existing spending levels through Feb. 16 and include an extension of a popular children’s health insurance program — aimed at winning Democratic votes — and a new sweetener for conservatives and Democrats alike in delaying several taxes included in the Affordable Care Act. Few lawmakers were enthusiastic about the legislation, but several described it as a necessary evil to avoid the first government shutdown since 2013.

Reagan also fired over 10,000 Air Traffic Controllers.

Trump is getting there, but he’s more tame than Reagan.

Blast it, just let it shut down!

Do you miss Speaker Pelosi that much ?

That is who we are going to get if we fire them.

Are the Dimz actually going to shut down the military in support of illegal aliens? Are you kidding the American people? This is who you are?

This is an effort to deflect any finger-pointing if there’s a shutdown. The GOP can say “we offered a resolution that continues everything the same for an extra month. If there’s a shutdown, it’s on them.”

No reason to read anything more into it than that. We KNOW who the media and the Dems will blame and this measure gives the GOP an answer back.

Sorry, no. The (R)N(C) had the peg to hang their hat on already: DACA/illegals.

But the uniparty doesn’t want to focus on THAT, We may expect them actually follow through. They want another shiny object to distract the bloat-n-punt (biz as usual) poison pill.

So today on school announcements at our CA middle school, they announced that if any student with absences wants to, they can go on a school-sponsored trip to the million woman march. The school will then get ADA money for making up for absences with their their attendance. Taxpayers are paying schools to bring marchers!
