Well. Not federal workers. Some of which are actually necessary. Maintenance people and things like that. Not much beyond that.

You want a CR! Fine do a CR -10% ... Some more of those and we might fix something.

Say that to the judge and you’ll get bounced so fast your head will spin.

Certainly none left to spend in a stupid courthouse trying people who should have been shot already.

Express that during the Jury selection and you'll be home by noon.

They talked of having twelve clean departmental funding bills.

Rank the departments in order of priority, fund the ones that matter first. If there’s no money for the lesser departments, let them find honest work.

We’ve had a few “shutdowns” but they’ve passed a Continiung Resolution every time before it mattered.

That would be 30 times.

I’m so old I remember when the House passed an annual budget every year and we didn’t need Continuing Resolutions. CRs enable more spending/graft and both parties love them.

I completely agree,,,no more CR’s! Shut it down.

To stop the never ending growth of big government, you have to STOP FEEDING the beast! Shut it down.

“Shutting down is going to make an already bad November outlook worse. I’m currently thinking D+25 and it could go a lot higher.”

LOL Wut?

In July 2018 I called House D+40 and for months I was called all kinds of names here. Final results = D+40.

The Trump phenomenon is not at the root a Republican phenomenon. The “takeover” of the GOP has failed. Trump is cosmically more popular than GOP candidates. But if he wins he will win on a broad front as he did in 2016.

He thought the GOP would help drain the swamp. The truth is, they ARE the swamp.

The most important thing is to replace the regime peacefully. This can be done by voting, but if it’s not a bipartisan project it will fail.

Most Democrats are worthless but so are most Republicans. To replace the permanent government is a huge undertaking and Trump needs allies, wherever he can find them.

Every department should submit their budget, & any department that is unnecessary should be shuttered. That’s most of them.

Just tell ‘em those last 7 words and the defense attorney will bounce you in a hurry.
