It’s up to Reid and Obama if they want to shut down the government over ObamaCare.
All on them.
OK so they failed to stop this Reid in Senate, got 18 GOPs of 47 to vote NO on cloture, it was an uphill battle for sure.
So House GOP has their own approach
Here's a rather bad way it could turn out based on tax fight.
Say plan A was Cruz plan, related to prior house bill, but Reid replaced that with his CR sent to House
So say now House GOP comes up with plan B which instead delays Ocare it for year.
Most Dems and ~ 30to 40 conservatives reject it as not good enough.
So Bohner just puts up Reids bill AS IS and passes with Dem votes
Then On to to Debt limit fight.
Not really...
The Commercial Weather companies, and the big airlines, have access to numerous countries satellites. Weather isn’t a government monopoly anymore.
Skybox Imaging will even be launching the first private weather satellites later this year. There are already private climate imaging satelites in orbit, too.
Ya know, I've heard this before from a Senator from Accuweather, er, Pennsylvania, who claimed we did not need the National Weather Service.
But yet, all of the other weather services are utilizing the underlying data from the NWS.
We're a bit late in the year for tornadoes, but good grief would there be an uproar if the NWS could not issue a Tornado Warning because of lack of funding.
Flake (R-AZ)and Hatch (R-UT) did not vote. I do not know why.
” but good grief would there be an uproar if the NWS could not issue a Tornado Warning because of lack of funding.”
Which won’t happen, and didn’t happen during the last shutdown, either.
Given the history of these Radical Academic Socialists, though. I wouldn’t put it past them to shutter the most visible (and harming the most people) parts of government.
The House should break it up into smaller parts and tack on defund-obamacare onto each of the component parts.
Do you want to fund education or obamacare, you can’t have both?
Do you want to fund FEMA or obamacare, you can’t have both?
Do you want to fund congressional pay or obamacare, you cant’ have both?
Do you want to fund FBI and DEA or obamacare, you can’t have both?
...
etc.
That’s probably the best suggestion I’ve heard yet. Break out the omnibus cr into individual measures and let the Senate hack through them separately. Simply refuse to deliver a cr funding Deathcare. The Dims don’t have enough clout in the House to force a Deathcare cr, so it dies by default.
Brilliant.
But that sounds like an awful lot of work for the House weenies ...
Actually it is to the advantage of Republicans.
Vote for the rat and you get Obamacare on January 1. Your choice.
Then you find out who “we the people” really are.
Now is a good time to pray for courage for those in Congress.
The Republicans should approve the funding but only if every single Federal employee including congress is mandated in. And they should strike any exemption to anyone Obama let out.
I wish they would shut the government on a more permanent basis. It has grown like a tumor into something vile.
I like that idea. Every time they send a bill up to the senate the funding for a lib cause gets cut deeper and deeper.
If the government shuts down so be it. I really don’t care at this point if the GOP gets the blame. They should wear it like a badge of honor. They should loudly proclaim that they shut the government down to save the nation.
In the real world they will likely fold like a cheap suit. Their track record shows me they have no spine or balls.
Wait until minutes before the deadline and lob it back to Hairy.
Apparently they both needed to vote:
"Don't Care, not There".
What should they do? Impeach nobama (and prosecute his minions throughout the administration) for raping Free America in many ways.
Everything would eventually adjust. The aviation industry has it's own equipment to get by on.
Precisely. Of course, when airplanes do not fall out of the sky on October 1, well then how would you like a little rioting breaking out?
