As CTH has outlined for well over a decade, the last federal budget that went through the appropriations process, passed both chambers and was signed by a president, was the fiscal year 2008 budget signed in September 2007 by George W Bush. Every single budget from that moment to today has been a series of continuing resolutions, omnibus spending packages (mini and regular) and baseline budgeted CR extensions. So, when Gaetz says it needs to stop, he’s holding the righteous high ground, and it doesn’t matter which congressional or media voice tries to say he’s wrong. He ain’t wrong.
Today, Gaetz said he’s willing to do whatever it takes, to see Kevin McCarthy taken down -OR- forcibly propped up by the Democrats in congress. Which, I might add, will highlight the exact nature of the UniParty construct with a clarity not before understood by the majority of Americans. Go for it, Matt… Make it happen

Very few American voters have any interest in fiscal responsibility — as long as they don’t have to pay for the irresponsibility.
Kevin McCarthy may be on the wrong side here, but they are on the side that wins elections.
Sundance is correct, as usual about Matt Gaetz. It has now been fifteen years since this country operated with a budget, as prescribed by the Constitution. It is long past time to fish or cut bait. Are they Republican or Uniparty? I suspect we will find many more of the latter than the former
Gaetz, flip the light on those uniparty cockroaches!
Yes. Better to win and pilot the ship into the rocks than be unpopular and steer around them or reverse course.
If you don’t win elections, you don’t get to steer.
It takes a special kind of stupid to go for the pyrrhic victory as the default course of action every time.
And in case you hadn’t noticed republican victories have been few and far between and even the latest republican “victory” was far smaller than it should have been.
And only the heir to the kingdom of stupid defines near continual devastating losses as winning because “it could have been worse.”
And that attitude is the heart and soul of today’s GOP leaders.
Republican cucks are a pathetic lot.
Has there ever been a national public figure as strongly rooted in a mindset of fiscal irresponsibility as Donald Trump? LOL.
all the negative comments about Gaetz confuses me
he is fighting the status quo
we need fighters to pull us out of this tailspin
are all these people happy with the status quo?
Republicants.
and they dont care that their children and many future generations will pay for the irresponsibility
“Kevin McCarthy may be on the wrong side here, but they are on the side that wins elections.”
Better to rule in hell, than serve in heaven.
We are all paying for national debt. With inflation and higher taxes.
In the United States today, even when you do win elections you don’t always get to steer.
“and they dont care that their children and many future generations will pay for the irresponsibility”
They TRULY believe that they and their offspring will be in the privileged class who won’t suffer. It’s not a problem for them, or anything they’re considering. We peons will be paying.
Kevin and his boy toy Luntz, Ca. Liberals and look at CA.
budget and taxes, why GOP trusted Kevin, you could see this
coming.
He promised a lot to get his gavel and didn’t ever expect
to keep anything he promised.
GOP is hopeless, they didn’t even fund the wall, Trump
took the funds from the military budget.
McConell is no better. We really need to find another
party. They wrecked the TEA party because they stood for
fiscal restraint. Mitch went to war with them
At the end of the day, the crowd always chooses Barabbas.
If you don’t win you won’t be piloting the ship, unfortunately.
