Government funding plan collapses as Trump vetoes bipartisan deal
ai generated text
The deal, a "continuing resolution", was agreed upon by Congress to keep the government funded until mid-March, but Trump and several of his allies, including JD Vance, have expressed opposition to the additional spending included in the resolution. Trump has instead called on Republicans to be "SMART and TOUGH" and not give in to Democratic demands. He argues that Democrats should be "called out" if they threaten to shut down the government unless their demands are met. This move is seen as a display of dominance from Trump, who is still a month away from taking office.
House Republicans have been ordered to shut down the government. And hurt the working class Americans they claim to support. You break the bipartisan agreement, you own the consequences that follow.
What does President Trump want Republicans to do: vote for the CR or shut down government? Absent direction, confusion reigns.
The bill could have easily been under 20 pages. Instead, there are dozens of unrelated policy items crammed into the 1,547 pages of this bill.
Any Member who claims to support DOGE should not support this 'CR of Inefficiency' that does not have offsets!! Don't get weak in the knees before we even get started!.
It takes a few pages to keep the government open. The other 1,500-plus contain a host of new policies and spending that have been utterly denied the public input on, which representative government depends.
The people who elected us are listening to Elon Musk.
Here's the key: by doing this, we are clearing the decks, and we are setting up for Trump to come in roaring back with the America First agenda.
Remember guys, we still have just a razor thin margin of Republicans, so any bill has to have Democrat votes. They understand the situation. They said, 'this is not directed to you Mr. Speaker but we don't like the spending.' I said, 'guess what fellas, I don't either,'
Elon and Vivek and I are on a text chain together.
Republicans must GET SMART and TOUGH. If Democrats threaten to shut down the government unless we give them everything they want, then CALL THEIR BLUFF.
THIS CHAOS WOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IF WE HAD A REAL PRESIDENT. WE WILL IN 32 DAYS!
Increasing the debt ceiling is not great but we'd rather do it on Biden's watch. If Democrats won't cooperate on a debt ceiling increase now, what makes anyone think they would do it in June during our administration? Let's have this debate over the debt ceiling now.
