Your thread is generating too much discussion! LOCK ER UP

Should only lock threads if you have no real life responsibility. Should feel smug as you do it too. Feel like you are making a real difference in the world.

Hey Congress + President: pull your heads out of your asses, pass a budget, and allow my wife to actually work her government job, so she can get a paycheck, and I can buy the baby some food.

Get off of CNN/Fox News. Stop coming up with new hashtags. Stop telling me who's fault it is; tell me how you are going to fix it.

Can someone explain how these shutdowns happen. Why the fuck would the basic operating budget tied to that other shit? What fucking genius came up with that model?

It's because of a lot of stuff, including sometimes having funding for these things included in the budget resolutions (or continuing spending resolutions when a budget hasn't been passed). It actually wouldn't have been much of an issue except Trump ditched the EO DACA program and told Congress to deal with it while pushign for his wall. Since it hasn't been, then McConnell has been touting "You can have CHIP or DACA", which is kind of a fucked up negotiating tactic. Had Trump not suspended it and put it on Congress, this would have been a easier negotiation.

The key problem is the continuing resolutions they keep doing to avoid passing an appropriations bill, which just kicks the ball down the street. That's the last I saw from McConnell who wants to temp fund the government through Feb 8. Which just means it shuts down again if they still haven't resolved shit.
