[Mike Johnson is the new Speaker] The Great Speaker Race

And today they passed another short term CR...

It seems like passing CR's is the best option as long as the Dems are going to insist upon Ukraine.

They are using short term CRs to avoid a long term CR. If they do a long term CR, then Massie's 1% across the board (real) cut goes into effect.

Shutdown is the best option.
Hopefully long enough that the federal parasites have to start jumping ship and getting other jobs.

IMHO Shutdowns only equate to an extra paid vacation. I bet government employees these days hope and pray for shutdowns.

Only when they are short enough that they can survive and expect backpay.
And even then the people benefit from the lack of government activity.

We need a record breaking one, you can't get backpay if you are forced to quit.

You are talking about the Government. That is not going to happen.

The Republicans could make it happen.
We are discussing what they should do.

You are discussing what Republicans should do? Wouldn't it be both more interesting and more relevant to the real world to hunt unicorns? At least that'll lead to some fresh air and exercise.

You may be onto something. Pay Government employees to not work.

Better to not pay them until they have to quit.
