Personally, I would have preferred the government to have been shut down rather than to have our esteemed members of Congress come up with yet another piece of patchwork legislation that accomplishes nothing more than to kick the fiscal can down the road, this time until March. Despite all of the fearmongering from Democrats and their friends in the ‘fake news’ media about the supposed consequences of shutting down the government, in truth it’s only roughly a third of the government that is affected and actually gets shut down. And why is it, do you suppose, that there is never nary a word said about how we never do what is an actual annual budget?
But despite the fact that an agreement on a bill
that was much larger than the original, there were many, especially among
Democrats who complained and would have much preferred the larger and more
costly bill. And one of those Democrats was none other than Jamie Raskin who hails
from the ‘The People’s Republic of Maryland.’ And it was during Friday’s broadcast
of CNN’s “AC360” that Raskin responded to a question on if he thinks the
government funding bill is an overall win by stating that it’s better than a
shutdown and the funding bill that was voted down on Thursday, and “given where
we were, this was probably the best possible solution."
He went on to say, “But, of course, it was not what
we had agreed to, originally. There were six weeks of arduous negotiation and
then bipartisan agreement to a deal that got blown up by a tweet.” Well, that’s
not exactly a true statement, but Raskin hasn’t exactly got a reputation for
telling the truth. Actually, it got blown up when the electorate got to peek
behind the curtain and got a look at all the ‘pork’ that was included. And what’s
up with this budgetary process anyway. It’s supposed to be built in public
forum, debated in committee, and voted as several separate budgets in a time
frame that allows inspection, deliberation, amendment, and passage.
Anyway, host Jim Sciutto asked, “So, House Minority
Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, he described this bill, to your caucus, as an
overall win for the American people. Why? Do you agree with that?” Raskin
answered, “Well, look, it’s certainly vastly superior to shutting down the
government of the United States. … And it was certainly vastly superior to the
hodgepodge bill that they sent to us yesterday, where they — where Donald Trump
was attempting to abolish the debt ceiling entirely to allow for them to have
this vast tax cut for the wealthy again. So, given where we were, this was
probably the best possible solution."
And he said, “But, of course, it was not what we had
agreed to, originally. There were six weeks of arduous negotiation and then
bipartisan agreement to a deal that got blown up by a tweet.” Raskin belongs
behind bars. This guy’s old man was an Anti-American Marxist blowhard too. You
know, this is the very same shit we get every single time. It’s always an 11th
hour emergency spending bill that must be passed or all Hell is gonna break
loose, there never seems to be enough time to carefully craft or read a
legitimate piece of legislation and it always ends up being a huge win for the
Democrats. But it just had to be done in order to avoid a shut-down, Again!
Bipartisan? The Democrats simply tried to roll
Speaker Johnson, a guy clearly not up to the task at hand. And once the entire
caucus saw how much pork was in it, it was doomed. Raskin is another of those
who must be made to realize that November 5th has changed everything. These end
of year Porkulus bills of the past are just that, the past, there’s now a new
sheriff in town and he’s bringing an army of deputies to eliminate corruption,
waste and excess. Raskin is a treasonous, evil hack. Clearly, he’s frustrated
that the pork-filled spending bill wasn’t passed. I couldn’t help but laugh
while reading his comments, because his frustration is so apparent.
We’re going to see a lot of this the next four
years…everything from the border wall to rebuilding our military to economic
prosperity will be sub-titled “tax cuts for the rich” by Democrats and the ‘fake
news’ media. Raskin, who should have been jailed for his involvement in the
first Trump impeachment, has the nerve to complain about six weeks of hard work
to create a 1,500 page bill that was 1 percent for keeping the government
running and 99 percent spending for various leftwing pet projects and wasted
taxpayer dollars because Democrats and RINOs realize next year’s budget battles
will be brutal as D.O.G.E. scrutinizes every penny being spent.
We owe our children’s
children a chance to live life, not live to work, each citizens portion of the
current debt is 106,000 dollars. Our politicians are not the only ones to blame
but you must blame voters that believe they are entitled to free stuff. Those
voters may not see the bill coming due but our children’s children, who did not
cause this, will be the ones punished. Wouldn't it be refreshing to go back to
the days when a budget was submitted on time, and we could eliminate the
political theatrics and needles stress on the people of this country. Raskin is
simply pissed because his share of the pork got eliminated from the thousands
of pages.
