4. We can put an end to this bullshit in very short order next term

If we have both houses of Congress and the White House, and we have ended the filibuster, we pass a budget for the entire government with one line: “$2,000 billion Hades funding.” There won’t be a budget for each agency, and there won’t be any line-item fund cites. Just “Hades funding” to absorb the entire discretionary budget of the US Government.

When the GOP asks what that is, we simply tell them, “We are going to give the entire federal budget to the president so he can spend it on whatever the hell he wants. And before you say one fucking word, you were perfectly fine with Donald Trump doing the same shit.”

If the Republican peabrains would like to help us clean up the mess they helped to cause, we will CONSIDER reinstating line-item budgeting. Two or three years from now. And only if we get rid of a lot of Republican pet projects.
