Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire R's Have Already Sold 2023 Fiscal Control Down the River

Business as usual................Screw Joe American Taxpayer, yet again............DRY.

Anybody still have hopes of reigning in Team Biden, even a little? So much for the R's having control, at least at some level, over spending.

Anything that Schumer is for, all the R's, including McConnell, should automatically be against.

R's Help Pass an Omnibus Spending Bill for all of 2023


Republicans’ Christmas Gift To Voters Is Helping Democrats Pass A Major Omnibus Spending Bill

Congressional Republican leaders are working in lockstep with their Democrat counterparts to pass a massive taxpayer-funded spending bill before the end of the year. The move comes immediately after a dozen Senate Republicans helped their Democrat colleagues advance a bill permitting radical leftists to wage legal war against religious Americans who value the true meaning of marriage.

After meeting with President Joe Biden at the White House on Tuesday, House and Senate leaders announced they had reached an agreement on the need for Congress to pass an omnibus spending package before the government’s current funding runs out on Dec. 16. Unlike a continuing resolution (CR), which would fund the federal government for a few months, an omnibus bill would provide funding for the entire 2023 fiscal year.

“The best option by far is for both parties to come to the table and work on a yearlong funding bill, not a continuing resolution,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., agreed, adding that “there’s widespread agreement that we’d be better off with an omnibus than a CR.”

Similarly to McConnell, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., who is likely to become speaker when Republicans assume control of the House in January, also expressed a preference for an omnibus package, but noted that he has “no problem” advancing a CR and “coming back in January” to hash out a long-term bill that includes funding for Republican priorities.

Despite their consensus on the desire for a larger funding package, however, one of the remaining areas of contention among congressional leaders is the bill’s price tag and allocation of funds. While House Democrats are seeking to increase discretionary spending to $1.6 trillion, Senate Republican leaders are focused on raising defense spending and “providing more aid to Ukraine.”

If Congress passes the bill before the end of the year, any and all leverage an incoming Republican House majority would have in securing critical spending priorities would be shelved until the end of 2023.

“I think it makes absolutely no sense for a lame-duck Congress to pass Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer’s appropriations bills,” said Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz. “[I]f a handful of Senate Republicans decide their outgoing act is to rubber-stamp Nancy Pelosi’s spending priorities, that would be a gross abdication of responsibility and also an affront to the voters who just voted to give Republicans a majority in the House.”

In addition to Cruz, Republican Sens. Mike Lee of Utah and Rick Scott of Florida have also publicly raised concerns over a potential omnibus.

The decision by Republican leadership to throw in with their Democrat colleagues’ spending shenanigans is the second slap in the face to conservative voters this week after 12 GOP senators crossed party lines on Tuesday to help Senate Democrats pass the wrongly named “Respect for Marriage Act,” which seeks to codify same-sex marriage into federal law. As The Federalist’s Jordan Boyd reported, the legislation would enable LGBT activists, as well as the highly political Department of Justice, to use the legal system as a weapon to target and harass religious Americans who believe firmly in God’s definition of marriage.

Among the Republicans who voted “yes” for the bill were Sens. Roy Blunt of Missouri, Richard Burr and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Susan Collins of Maine, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Rob Portman of Ohio, Mitt Romney of Utah, Dan Sullivan and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Joni Ernst of Iowa, and Todd Young of Indiana.

Never underestimate the RINOS ability to disappoint.

99% of them are bought and paid for by globalist interests intent on our nation's destruction, and our people's death and enslavement.

Well when everything crashes and burns we can watch in real time.

“But if you’ll just give us the Presidency, the Senate, and the House, we’ll fix it all!!!”-GOP

Yep, just like they “fixed” things in 2000-2006 and 2016-2018.

Hand some credit to the Dems, guys. At least they have the BALLS to push/pass their agenda, when they’re in power. What does the GOP do?? Obligatory “tax cut”, and nothing but compromises after that...

Phuque all of em, I had my fill of it quite some time ago!

No matter what's in it, it's a DemonRat's bill & by allowing it to be done his way, the R's in the house have just flushed any control over the 2023 spending that they could / might have had for all of 2023 down the toilet before they even take control of the House.

Beyond stupid, just more of allowing the Demons to fu^ck us over some more, as if what they've done in the last 2 years has not been enough.

I just don't see much chance of any turnaround with policies like this.

What??? Voting R didn't solve shiit?!?! Why, I'm.....

*yawn*

They need to start doing zero baseline budgets. Make each and every office and branch justify every penny they spend. That’s what every business I’ve ever worked for has to do. This add 8.9% for inflation to last year’s spending is the biggest reason that spending is out of control.

Is SS safe? asking for a friend

Yeah O M G , I just knew we were going to turn all this crap around by voting more R's into the mix >>LAF'n.

As soon as we get this voting mess cleaned out this country will do a 180 degree swopperoo0 because the republican party stands for the good hard working people of this country, Amen.

45 years ago my dad said you'd have to nuke Washington to fix this mess.

Nobody here is surprised by this. The Rs and the Ds are on the same team...and it isn't our team.

huntnshoot: I suppose you want to join the village idiot now known as "turdqueen" and just let the demonrats run unopposed and have the government to their anti-American selves?
I will readily acknowledge that todays batch of Republicans aren't doing much - part of it is they CAN'T do much because they are in the minority and part is there are several rino-backstabbers in power.
Still if YOU had an ounce of sense YOU would acknowledge that Republicans saved our ("our" being true Americans!) asses by struggling/fighting to gain control of the Supreme Court of the United States and soon to lead the United States House of Representatives.
And in a few dozen days the "Republicans" will (hopefully!) gain control of the Congressional "purse strings" and put that control to use!
OR... would you rather demonrats remain in control of the Senate, the Oval Office AND the House of Representatives?
Yeah "voting Republican" has solved some problems and most likely SAVED several aspects of American life including capitalism and our Second Amendment Rights to name just a couple.
OR.... again, you can enjoy your suffering under the likes of nanny piglosi, maxi-pad waters, adamshit, a-o-twat and their ilk running amok in the House of Representatives.
I completely disagree with your absurd, near-sighted, self destructive and ignorant contention.
You have done it - you have earned a sheesh!
Sheesh.
Hold into the wind

You’ll have to be older to get it, but they remind of Jerry Quarry, the Great White Dopes’s!

Varmint Guy, I think you Mean well, but we had the house the senate and President Trump, they didn’t do much but impede the President!

Bunch of liars selling that 8.9% inflation rate bullschit. Go to the grocery store and check prices. They're up a heck of a lot more than just 8.9%.

They hate Trump for the success he had. Trump showed the world what thieves and idiots they are. They are in it too far to turn back now. McConnell has no pretense of conservatism now. He won't even utter anything against the destruction he has helped to inflict. He used to play like he was conservative but never again.

word

Nice thought, but spending it out of control exactly because they want no real control, nothing more, nothing less.

We are in a deficit spending, unending death spiral which is headed for a high altitude nose dive crash.................on all levels & I don't think it's avoidable.

What they just did here, just accelerates the impact speed.
