When Speaker Johnson took over the gavel, he vowed not to support the Obiden Regime’s massive spending agenda.
This from thepatriotjournal.com.
The communists/globalists wanted to keep the government funded through a huge omnibus bill.
Instead, Speaker Johnson wanted smaller bills, that included spending cuts.
Senate communists/globalists, and some republicans, were unmoving. They refused to support measures that included cuts.
But, now, with the shutdown set to happen this Friday, Johnson appears to have provided a bill the left wants.
From Breitbart:
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (C/G-NY) took to the Senate floor Monday afternoon to say he is “pleased” with Speaker Johnson for choosing not to pursue spending cuts or policy riders in the spending package, indicating he would support the approach.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (RINO-KY) followed Schumer on the floor expressing his support.
House Speaker Johnson has approved a continuing resolution to keep the government open that does not include any of the spending cuts Republicans had promised. But he won over the support of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Republican Mitch McConnel who applauded the Speaker’s “responsible measure.”
We the People are left feeling we’ve been kissed in the dark—unsure whether it was a good thing or a bad thing—not really knowing what to think.
Johnson claimed this move was:
[To] place House Republicans in the best position to fight for conservative victories.
But Johnson is unlikely to get continued support from hardliner Republicans over this CR.
Has Johnson forgotten the magic of Rep. Matt Gaetz? Far-right conservatives removed former House Speaker McCarthy, because he sided with The Regime and the Leftist agenda.
How these hardline Republicans will respond—short-term and long-term—over Johnson approving a bill with no spending cuts is anyone’s guess.
The federal deficit has reached nearly $34 trillion under the current unconstitutional regime. We the People thought perhaps House Republicans had a bargaining advantage—by holding a majority in the House. They have talked about cutting spending to help reduce inflation and spare American taxpayers more hardship, but sh*t happens.
Yes, the House is moving forward with a CR that cuts nothing from The Regime’s spending plans. The only “win”—if We the People are permitted to rationalize—for Republicans in this CR is that it does not contain The Regime’s request for billions of additional funds for Ukraine. But then there is no additional funding for Israel or Taiwan.
Final thought: The Republican measuring stick ought to be Chuck Schumer. A content Chuck Schumer is not a Republican win.
