Top Democratic appropriator warns GOP would be ‘guaranteeing a shutdown’ by insisting on 2022 funding levels

Fine by me, I’d prefer a government shutdown to their outrageous spending bill any day.

Partner, we can see you rounding the bases and you have just hit a grand slam homerun on that response.

So I dont see a problem.

In 2009-10 House Democrats passed a midnight Christmas Eve annual budget bill. Then they hid out, refusing to ever pass another annual budget bill. As I understand the current budget system The House is still surviving on short-term “continuing resolutions”.

This would mean House Democrats are responsible for the House’s ability to alter budgets mid-year, not Republicans. House Democrats placed Republicans in the position to revert back to the 2022 budget.

I think there’s a law as a result of previous government shutdowns which default’s future funding to past levels in the event of a shutdown. If this is correct then it places a big question mark behind this threat.

Finally we can have a real shutdown.
