Let's get that Article V Convention going !!!

Absolutely. I don't think these elected cowards are going to do anything meaningful.

It is comical watching the budget battle . Dems are livid that Schmucky let the CR pass . Now they have forced him to draw a line in the sand and he is afraid to lose his Senate seat to All Out Crazy

Bottom line ;the Repubs want to hold the line in spending to Biden level spending. The Dems want more .

Let them shut it down !

They can't complain about layoffs if there is a shutdown.

The repubs want to hold the line in spending??? It's a near miracle. But to want to stay at Biden levels is a little like a man saying he is going to hold his drinking at the party to only a couple of pints of Jack Daniels.

The shut down is the Dems desperate attempt to save Obamacare .
They lied to us . We were told that subsidies for Obamacare would be temporary. Now they are shutting down the government to make them permanent . For the Dems it is very simple . Without subsidies the whole house of cards comes down.

The longer the shut down lasts ;the longer the electorate will understand how much of the Federal government is non-essential. I believe the Dems are making a strategic blunder .They have given Trump the ability to implement the DOGE cuts.

Those funds for illegal aliens must be very important to them.

Don't listen to the Dems say "it is illegal to give free medical to illegals .Their real objection to the BBB is that it ends the loophole of giving Federal money for illegal's health care by having states distribute it .

That is why they drew the line in the sand over the CR .They want to loophole restored .
