Republican leadership will try to look strong. That will rally the Left. As soon as pressure builds, Republican leadership will collapse like wet cardboard. Result will be strengthening Democrat opposition and pissing off conservative voter support. Typical Republican lose-lose move.
Don’t get me wrong. I support major efforts to rein in government over reach and spending. Expecting our current Republican leadership to accomplish anything positive is wishful thinking.
Wish I had a solution. Doesn’t appear to be one presently.
I wouldn't send a budget. I'll sign a continuing resolution to fund the government every three months. That's it.
I won't sign a budget until we address the deficits. But in the meantime, we keep the government running until the next election.
