But as I said earlier, all of us should be worried our government debt is over 33 trillion and all of us should demand both sides take major steps to reduce the deficit. Keeping or adding to spending levels will not reduce the debt, just the opposite, it will increase it. The budget now has baked into over 100 billion spent on Ukraine, that would be a great place to start. Cut off funding for a war that the low and middle class in this country can't afford to pay for.

One part of the current situation is McCarthy can't even get anything to a vote because the calls are coming from inside the house.  His own party won't agree with each other let alone Democrats on even just passing a continuance to keep things running.

We can't even get to blame the Democrats for wanting open borders and irresponsible spending yet because the gop can't get anything to them to talk about.

A new part, to me, is it would appear some members are for shutting down the government to protect P01135809...at his request.
