So although passing this budget was obviously terrible, how is it worse than no budget at all? No budget followed by a government shutdown would be the ideal case for Trump and Elon to take yet more power from Congress. The Democrats aren’t in any good position of power right now so expecting the budget to include any of their priorities is unrealistic.
“Needing 8 Democrats to pass the budget” is what you call “a position of power”. Democrats piss every bit of power away for nothing, then we’re still swamped with idiots online going “what do you expect them to do?”
When Republicans need Democratic votes to pass something, that means Democrats should get something in return. When Dems are in power, they water down legislation and say they need to do that to court Republicans who still don’t vote for the bill. When Dems are in the minority, they vote with Republicans and complain about not being able to do anything.
Most MAGA Republicans would rather a shutdown than giving in to Democratic points. The alternative wasn’t Democrats getting one or two of their points in the budget in exchange for it passing, the alternative was a government shutdown.
I fully agree that when the Democrats have power they do absolutely nothing with it, but in this case I fail to see how they could have gotten any of their points in.
How is giving him congressional approval going to help? The Doomers keep obeying in advance. Try fighting for something.
The alternative isn’t “keeping the government operating”. Its letting the Republicans know that they can shutdown anything they want while the Democrats do nothing.
Because removing requirements to spend money the way congress intends is to forgo your power of the purse and this is the only thing a republican majority needs them for. Schumer is literally greenlighting the coming holocaust piggy bank all because his donors gave him a call. Disgusting fucking greedy loser.
Read the details of the agreement, this allows funds to be pulled from other projects for whatever Trump wants. 350 billion for ICE? Why not. Thanks Chuck, I’m sure the American Holocaust will take longer to get to the Jews than the last one. There was also the claim that Government employees don’t want to be folurloughed but a majority were okay if it mean congress made it harder to fire them.
Thank you for clarifying that this removes the requirement to spend the money where it was allocated. This answers my question and could indeed be worse than a shutdown.
