Pick a law...any law .. (R's not wanting to fund a "program")

[SoCalDem]

They call it a "bill"...a "program"...a "policy".., andf they seem to think they can avoid paying for it by holding everything else hostage..

Let's take it a step further..

MOST Americans are against the excessive military and all its wars & fancy killing toys.. why not threaten to not fund THAT?

or

Why not go whole-hog and not fund the IRS?

or

Laws are laws..they are not up for debate.. That time has passed..

When you do not agree with a law, you are pretty much stuck with grumbling, but little else..(try arguing with a cop who's arresting you for breaking a LAW)

2. I am with you on that one.. Think about it

They have ONE major function...

They appropriate funds for the budget.

President sends budget EVERY year..

There are apparently 13 sections for appropriations.. The fiscal year is up in October..
The SECOND that WH budget arrives, they should set on it like wolves and have EVERYTHING completed no later than 60 days later. They have the manpower and office staff, and they all pretty much know what's in it to start with.

NO days off until the budget is done..no long weekends, no mid-winter Hawaiian junkets, no "retreats"...no Easter Bunny vacation...just work on the budget..and when both senate & house have done their work, the committees resolve issues, and THEN they can take a break..

And whenever a law is passed, the FUNDING for it is GUARANTEED...no deciding later that they were drunk when they made than 6 hr phone call to the Lonely Chickenhawk XXX Hot Girls, and now they vote to not pay for it..
