House Speaker Kevin McCarthy brokered a deal with his far right wing to fund the government. Liberals are furious and say it’s an exercise in futility because it’s guaranteed DOA in the Senate. That’s not my problem, the ranking Republican shrugs.<\/p>\n
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy faced his inevitable<\/a> political future square on and made a deal everyone in the red chamber should be able to live with. The deal hasn’t been officially ratified on the floor yet but if it is, the radioactive<\/a> hot potato gets tossed into the Senate’s lap. Behind the scenes, half a dozen Republicans announced a workable deal on September 17 “to temporarily fund the government.<\/em>”<\/p>\n They claim that the goal is averting a shutdown but this makes one even more likely. It will simply be the Senate’s fault, not theirs. They did their part for We The People and cut spending, even if it’s only by a symbolic 1% across the board.<\/p>\n The military budget remains totally untouched by the House and their share of the reduction was made up by everyone else taking an 8% haircut. That essentially meets the requirements laid down by the Freedom Caucus in a way that RINOs can swallow.<\/p>\n House GOP strikes internal deal as shutdown approaches#TWGRP<\/a> SHUT IT DOWN\u203c\ufe0f I would rather see a shut down, then a deal to further DESTROY \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\u203c\ufe0f<\/p>\n https:\/\/t.co\/2klJ6urkpO<\/a><\/p>\n — Queen Lou 3 (@dizzyizzu) September 18, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
