Since you aren’t accepting these emergency Obamunist continuing resolutions, here, look at this.
We took the time to pass an actual real budget for the first time in two decades. We did the actual constitutional thing.
They’ll never do it but that is what they should do.
“Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., was the only Republican to oppose the measure.”
Rand Paul is not a team player.

Thanksgiving is approaching and 42 million Americans will go hungry on Thanksgiving because Democrats voted that there shall be no money for foodstamps.
How are the Democrats going to spin that? It is all in the messaging, they say.

Liberals vote for FREE SHT. The people they voted for are demanding America hand out FREE SHT. The NON Free Sht people that were voted into office are standing their ground.
