What Good Is A Shutdown Deal Without Addressing Rescissions

Congress could agree on a deal to renew Obamacare subsidies, agree on a deal to properly fund Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, Social Security and then later down the road Krasnov can simply not fund any of it because of his new rescissions power.

Until Congress regains control of the purse strings we have a dictator.

Call me a doom and gloomer but Krasnov has been gutting money appropriated by Congress on a regular basis.

Do dictators need to poll favorably? He is slowly gaining control of the military, and by control I mean control.

I agree with you in this regard, I have stated that we are going to need unwashed Magats to join forces with us if we are ever going to throw out the billionaires. Krasnov believes he can just do damage to Democrats and protect Magats, but Magats also live in blue states.

Not enough is said about something that is keeping inflation in check, the price of gas has been pretty darn stable, if gasoline were to jump in price then unwashed Magats may wake up.

Oh and Krasnov will bail out the farmers who he fucked with his tariffs, and he will bail out any other industry Magat affected by his tariffs, I heard talk of his bailing out the auto industry.
