On Republican "Shutdown Theatre"
Sep 15, 2023 05:59:13 #
"Conservative leaders are urging Republicans in Congress to take a government shutdown fight “head-on” and reject the Continuing Resolution (CR) proposed by leadership — urging lawmakers to use the budget to “disrupt the Washington Swamp’s playbook to force reforms to Democrats’ failed policies.” ...
In a letter produced by the Conservative Action Project (CAP), conservative leaders nationwide wrote, “Under no circumstances should conservatives acquiesce to the spending levels and policies of the Biden Administration."
“Neither the House nor the Senate has passed the required appropriations bills, which means a short-term extension of funding – a Continuing Resolution – will be required. This is a critical ‘must pass’ leverage point, and conservatives must use it to disrupt the Washington Swamp’s playbook to force reforms to Democrats’ failed policies,” the letter says."
Mike McCarthy has been speaker now for the past 8 months. Where are his "power of the purse" spending reforms?
Where are the Individual, single-subject spending bills that would allow House Members to have specific review, programmatic analysis, and would allow them to defund the salaries of the bureaucrats and agencies that target political opponents.
The CAP are also urging Republicans in Congress not to pass any spending bills without policy reforms attached, including securing the open border, addressing the weaponization of federal law enforcement, and abating the progressive policies being implemented at the Pentagon.
Republicans pretend they won't budge unless Democrats cut spending, or separate Ukraine funding from the stopgap bill, only to cave at the 11th hour in dramatic fashion.
MY QUESTION: Are the reforms demanded by conservative members of the House, worth the risk of a government shutdown? What does it mean to be Republican vs. a Democrat? Is there a difference between the two, or is there in fact a Uniparty in place, and as George Carlin would say, "You aren't part of it!".

This is the type of s**t that has got to stop. This is just one aspect of defunding the Biden regime's misbegotten policies. Defunding parts of the FBI and other select agencies is the rest.

Republicans in the past have shown no backbone.

It seems most are getting kickbacks from their tin pan whores. It’s obviously bipartisan.
