Guys we only have 1/3 of the Govmt controls. This was a skirmish.. I’m tired of hearing Donald Trump and others
complaining... We had a skirmish and held the ground and did not cede the ground. It was only one skirmish in a war.. Do you want people like Donald Trump by your side during the next fight? How are we going to win the war when we cannot stand together through only one skirmish
when they had 2/3 more resources than we did. I’m proud.
Keep up the fight! Don’t stop and don’t turn on your own
folks!
“Guys we only have 1/3 of the Govmt controls”
We had our hand on the f****** off switch.
IF WE DID NOTHING WE WOULD HAVE WON.
No bill = shutdown = austerity spending = exactly what we wanted.
The deficit would have been eliminated with no effort.
Default would be averted because enough money comes in to write the important checks, which go out automatically as is.
The resulting resulting surplus (!) would have started well on paying off the debt.
We gave them a CC&B bill which lacked only 4 votes in the Senate.
They tabled it without a glance.
We should have sent it back, over and over, saying
“Pass this bill or we shut this place down. Either choice is fine by us.”
Skirmish? 1/3rd control? BS. We had the nuclear option, and decided to do a million troop land invasion instead.
We could have won by doing exactly nothing.
Instead, our leaders gave them exactly what they wanted: the biggest debt ceiling hike in history, and $26T in spending increases for a decade.
WTF?
I don’t want Donald Trump by my side for anything.
Where is the result of the investigations in Hawai that he claims he was having done.
There are none, because he lied, it was all a scam to get the BC off the agenda for Obama’s next election, just like the democrats wouldn’t allow a short term solution to the debt for the same reason.
Trumpo is a two faced POS.
Under the constitutional system of CHECKS and balances, a faction that wants to stop government from doing anything can stop it. That was Madison’s purpose, that we remain free from the effects of government unless it was generally agreed that action was necessary.
Defense appropriation was constitutionally limited to a maximum of two years because they feared a standing army. Now we have people believing they earned their SS and Medicare because they paid for it thirty years ago. Our founders should have limited all appropriations to two years.
