Kevin O'Leary believes Congress' 'political theater' will end with a 'punt' so lawmakers can 'go home, open some presents, come back and fight again' in the New Year.
As House lawmakers prepare to vote for a third time on a potential continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown, "Mr. Wonderful" is giving the stark reality on what will likely happen by Friday’s deadline. "This is classic, shut down government, bad Christmas movie. We've seen it so many times. This is how sausage is made in Washington. I like this political theater.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., speaking to reporters outside Speaker Mike Johnson's office, said that lawmakers are "very close to a deal" that could be voted on Friday. But other representatives have reportedly expressed doubt about how quickly a third CR vote could come together. The initial 1,547-page bipartisan deal crumbled after Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy criticized the spending bill that would have extended the government funding deadline until March 14.
and Science, shut it down," he noted. "This stuff is wasted government money." The business leader claimed he has "looked at these bills." "I'm one of the few people you ever talk to that reads this stuff. There's a lot of waste in there. Those things are telephone books. And I was just looking for opportunity for small business. There isn't any, and that's 62% of job creation. So shut them down and save billions.
