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

Drivelous nonsense
Maybe not one from the RINO republic? AKA Kookafornication.
He will last about 15 minutes in the job.
Yup. Time to repeal the 17th Amendment and end this uniparty rule for good.
I heard nothing wrong with what he said and I notice that no one is addressing him on the substance of it.
You can tell he’s doing the right thing because of all the media suddenly loving Kevin McCarthy in defense against Gaetz
Gaetz is RIGHTFULLY pointing out that McCarthy has not kept his word.
That kind of stupid has gotten us where we are today. Gaetz is doing what we all should have been doing for the last 40 years.
What good has THAT done for us in the last 4 decades???
But then you are still in hell
Kevin McCarthy isn’t really the problem. He’s not elected to a national office. He’s elected by his fellow members of Congress.
They all are. But laying this monstrosity at the feet of the voters isn’t much different than blaming the voters for the border debacle. The reality is that the idiot ruling class keeps these issues off the table. Which accounts for about 99% of the Trump hatred — he at least put the immigration mess on the table, albeit temporarily.
Singling out Trump for lesser versions of what the rest of Washington is doing has become a national pastime for half the country.
Worshipping him as a messiah merely because the ruling class hates him is the pastime of the other half.
Trump’s popularity is rooted in the average person’s hatred of the ruling class. The ruling class made their own monster in Trump by carving out a leadership vacuum for him to occupy.
F U.
McCarthy is not keeping his word- are you OK with that?
How is the “the same mistake” some freepers are making?
The GOPe want alternative to Trump. They should understand that only someone to blow it all up like this would even be considered. An alternatives to Trump looks like Gaetz with a national 6 week abortion ban and refusal to support foreign wars. Not just in words but someone who has proven they are willing to pull the trigger. Don’t think they’d like the alternative to Trump (although they’d support said person because they wouldn’t be as successful as Trump in terms of blowing it all up, in all likelihood)
The border debacle is an inevitable consequence of the fiscal irresponsibility that Americans have brought upon themselves. Look at it this way ...
Our $33+ trillion in national debt represents about a $100,000 liability for every American resident today. But if you divide it only among working people, it comes to more than $180,000 per worker. For a married couple, that's like having a $360,000 mortgage -- without having a home to go along with it.
Do you want to know why every vested interest in this country is hell-bent on flooding the country with immigrants? It's because we need to find tens of millions of people who are dumb enough -- or desperate enough -- to think that's a good deal.
I never would have accepted McCarthy’s word in the first place ... not because I’d assume he’s a liar, but because you can’t rely on the word of anyone who answers to other people like McCarthy does.
Agreed. Gaetz is speaking the truth about McCarthy. If Rush was still here I think he would color McCarthy Establishmentarian GOP 'yellow.'
Matt Gates is just doing his job.
Yes...I agree with that and maybe I am fooling myself that we are not already there. But whatever communism we have now is still different from hard communism of the soviet union type.
Maybe we are already in that open air prison...need to ponder your point.
