Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
On Wednesday, 14 House Republicans voted “no” and two voted “present” on a sensible “continuing resolution” bill to keep the government operating through next March while ensuring that only U.S. citizens can vote in this fall’s elections. Their obstinacy, combined with that of all but three Democrats,and made another stupid government “shutdown” more likely when the fiscal year ends on Sept. 30.
The 16 Republicans are mostly the usual suspects more interested in theater than good governance or achievable conservative results. They are Reps. Jim Banks , Andy Biggs , Eli Crane Lauren Boebert , Doug Lamborn , Tim Burchett , Matt Gaetz , Cory Mills , Greg Steube , Wesley Hunt Beth Van Duyne , Nancy Mace , Mike Rogers , and Matt Rosendale . The two “present” votes, almost equally harmful, came from antisemitic conspiracy theorist Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie .
Shutdowns cost more money because furloughed workers get back pay even for the time they don’t work. Shutdowns curtail numerous government responsibilities, especially the few “help” services the IRS provides to taxpayers. They also disrupt the economy as service cuts and procurement delays ripple through supply chains.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
