You can always count on some House Republican leadership aide to say just anything that flips through his mind.
The Speaker should help this person get a new job somewhere else.

...huge numbers of Republicans joined with Democrats...More house cleaning to do, that is if we make it to another election
To: Hojczyk
We need to elect better Republicans.
To: Outlaw Woman
The "amendment" was out of line with the stated objective ~ which was to find specific items to cut now.
It was just one of those Democrat "we'll let thePresident find 5% or 10% somewhere because we can't find anything in particular we don't like" type amendments.
In short, it's not a thing to die for.
REAL cuts are things like DEFUNDING PBS and NPR.

The RATS wouldn’t hesitate to shut the government down or do anything else, for that matter, to get their agenda through.

I agree, let it shut down. The country will not disappear, life as we know it won't end. The boy has cried wolf too many times already.
The Repubs need to toughen up.

I’m with ya pal! Shut her down! Since Pres. day is now over we would be looking at like 2 months till the next long weekend. As a govt worker I say shut her down for a week or two so I can break in my new fishing pole :-)
Just remember to pay us back wages when all the kerfumpling is finished.
To: ClearCase_guy
i think we are all in for a round of “disappointment” as usual.

lots of military retirees will be looking for our paychecks ya know. Contrary to a lot of people’s opinions, not all of us live on a golf course and drink martinis every day. A lot of us live on tight budgets and need those retirement checks to pay our mortgages. My family took a beating in real estate over the last 2 years, and before that lost all our UAL stock when that company tanked. Yeah, flying navy jets and working in the medical hobby shop were a lot more fun than being an old retired fa#t! Now he wears a suit and tie every day and flies a desk (thank the Lord he has a job!) and I homeschool our daughter, help my aging parents (including nursing care), and aid my extended family in any way I can. Find a job? Sure, but I’ve got family depending on me now in other ways than when I used to wear a uniform. Yes, I want the government to stop spending so much da*n money, but I want my retirement check too. Seems to me that we could do a whole lot more to fix this royal mess. He)) yes I’m mad!

I share your skepticism, but am willing to be surprised. Indeed I hope to be. But the gop has such a history of giving away the farm before anyone even asks for it... well, we shall see in short order, won't we.
To: sassy steel magnolia
My experience after working for the fed for a number of years is, the one thing the gubmint does better than anything else is to cut checks and pay people. I wouldn't worry, frankly, your check is secure.
To: Hojczyk
Let's see now - The Democraps had an overwhelming majority in both Houses of the Congress last year, the entire year. Now with two months with a supposed new majority in the house, they want two more weeks to resolve a continuing resolution that they didn't have the guts to do before the last election.
SHUT THE PIMPS OF THE ELECTION INDUSTRY DOWN - BOTH Rs and Ds!
