You know the military paychecks are delayed right? Non essentials at the VA don’t work or get paid, the rest work without a check. Does that sit right with you Gloria? Meanwhile congress still gets a check, while everyone else that works there gets an unpaid Christmas vacation….maybe trump can talk to his boss, the illegal that’s taking our jobs. 😂

Send a clean CR a separate disaster relief and farm bill. This isn’t that difficult. Anyone who supports the pork bill should be voted out in two years. As a school teacher, I haven’t had a significant raise in four years. The people in Congress should get one either. I couldn’t care less if the government gets shut down. They will still fund all emergency spending.

[@johndemeritt3460]

@@mirandaaldrich9616, if you think the government's spending more than it should, fine. But let's be realistic: the head of the incoming Administration has called for an _increase_ to the amount the government is allowed to borrow. That's _not_ how to decrease spending. Maybe increasing revenue is a good choice. We could start by raising taxes on Elon Musk: he's valued at over 300 BILLION dollars. Get him and his tech bro friends to pony up more in taxes, and we might be able to actually _balance_ the budget -- something that hasn't happened since the Clinton Presidency.
