MTG — Shut down the government…

Marjorie says shut it down.



Washington — The House is moving closer to a vote Wednesday on a $1.5 trillion omnibus spending bill to keep the federal government open and provide $13.6 billion in aid for Ukraine and Eastern European countries.



A dispute over how to pay for the COVID-related provisions prompted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to remove the pandemic money from the bill Wednesday afternoon, a move she called “heartbreaking.”



Republicans had demanded the $15.6 billion be offset by cuts elsewhere, and Democrat leaders agreed to cover half the cost by using leftover money from previous pandemic aid. But that earned objections from some Democratic members, who said their states already had plans to spend the funds.



To alleviate a potential time crunch in the Senate, the House was also poised to vote on a short-term continuing resolution that would keep government agencies running through March 15 if the omnibus spending bill does not get to Biden’s desk before the end of the week.

Shut down the government and never open it back up.

With midterms coming up, these assholes just can't dump all their hyperventilated COVID bullshit fast enough, can they?

Yeah, well, I had plans to spend a million bucks on gumdrops this year. So when can I expect my check?

The problem is this is not a Pelosi issue. This problem is chronic and happens regardless of who has power. Power corrupts.

it's automatic at this point. The interview Tim Pool hosted with MTG and Massie about a month or so ago was very enlightening (or would be to those who hadn't already suspected that the vast majority of everything our government does is decided by unelected bureaucrats, not the politicians themselves)

If government is shut down, who will fine us for repairing potholes in our roads ??
