“””Republicans could change that.”””
But RINOs wouldn’t do it.
Just watch Kim Strassel explain this to David Asman on Fox Biz’s “After the Bell.”
the Republicans do NOT control both chambers of congress...
that’s only in titular form, an appearance
the RINOs are in bed with the commie/nazi D’s...swamp critters all.... it is that cabal that controls congress
“Republicans could change that. Their control of the White House and both chambers gives them an unusual opportunity to cut big.”
Kimberly? Sweetheart? I sure WISH I could believe you, but I just can’t. I HOPE they prove me wrong. I will GLADLY be wrong.
Please! Prove me wrong, Republicans!
Cut, baby, cut!
Republicans don’t control the Senate
Republicans have, at best, 50 votes in the Senate plus McCain when he’s up to it. Depending on what ox is getting gored it isn’t likely they’ll get that many.
I’m afraid you’re laboring under the delusion that most Republicans in Congress WANT Trump to succeed.

I think these rescissions don’t need to be done all as one package. President Trump should have his staff go through the Omnibus and dig out a dozen or so of the most ridiculous spending items, stuff that even a Democrat would be hesitant to support once it’s out in the open.
Run those dozen items through as a package and I’ll bet it would get 60-70 Senate votes.
Then find the next dozen and repeat the process. Continue until you can’t get 50 votes in the Senate. Maybe they’d even get down to forcing an open vote on whether Planned Parenthood needs a half billion dollars of our tax money.
Actually, this could be made into a pretty good game show if Trump puts some effort into it. Tweet out all twelve of the first spending items. I’ll guarantee you the there are at least a dozen items so ridiculous that the public would never support them.
Stopped reading right there.
But why stop there?
And why mess around with a freakin' "hacksaw" let's break out the broadswords, chainsaws and fire-axes.
