Do the Republicans even have a budget plan?
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.
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.
“Do the Republicans even have a budget plan?”
I think a better question would be; “Do the Republicans even have a any plan?”
