Do the Republicans even have a budget plan?
Lol, Notice the Alt Left clown posse is never referred to as “hardliners” in the Fake News. Why? Because they are always good little bots who do exactly what their political masters tell them to do.
“A short-term funding extension, known as a continuing resolution (CR), is almost certainly needed to give lawmakers more time to cobble together 12 individual spending bills for fiscal year 2024.”
All 12 should have been ready weeks ago and been passed by the House.
Yep, they have 12 bills they want voted on. Political establishment in both parities doesn’t want to vote since voting might require them to actually stand for something. Since the 1990s they pass these CRs to avoid having to actuary have a budget
There should be standard operating budgets that need only be updated by dollar amounts.
They would keep most of the government up and running.
Non-recurring items can be funded by supplemental bills.
That wouldn’t be half as exciting.
They’ve had 9 months.
Instead they wasted the time getting hair cuts and makeup and new suits to go on Fox News 3 times a day.
Item A
Hakeem? $50 million
Kevin? $45 million
Item A $45 million
Item B
Hakeem? $132 million
Kevin? $139 million
Item B $132 million
....
Basic budget done
Haggling: Room 149, tomorrow 8AM
Five minutes by item by team
One Republic priority, one Democratic priority, repeat
X further items funded in first supplemental
Haggling: Room 149, Monday 8AM
Nope.
Had the House passed McCarthy’s bill the Senate would have voted it down. The it could be portrayed as a bipartisan shutdown.
As it is Republicans will shoulder the blame. And there WILL be blame.
Try to look on the bright side. Do you know how many X followers Gaetz has added this week alone?
“Do the Republicans even have a budget plan?”
I think a better question would be; “Do the Republicans even have a any plan?”
They already passed 4.
“Don’t cut me bro” is the Cris de cour used by our RINO whims in Texas when forced to vote in public on something their constituents will hate.
If anyone tries to pin the shutdown on Republicans, this fact should be the first words out of your mouth in response.
I just wish it was permanent.
“All 12 should have been ready weeks ago and been passed by the House.”
McCarthy promised no more CRs and no more omnibus bills. He also promised to release all the J6 tapes.
He’s done none of them. Time to file the Motion to Vacate.

McCarthy is the quintessential empty suit. Guy’s as effective as snake oil on stains.
