The Republicans with one exception have already proven that they full of shit when it comes to lowering the debt. They voted to continue increasing the debt last time their king told them to vote or face a primary opponent. Out went the principles, the job of power, is much more important to the cowardly MAGAs of the Republican Party.
Apart from Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who votes according to his beliefs, the House GOP’s self-proclaimed deficit hawks frequently talk a big game only to betray their stated principles when it counts. Donald Trump hopes that they will do so again next week instead of shutting down the government.
On Saturday, the president pleaded with them to support a continuing resolution (CR) that would largely maintain current funding levels for six months.
Trump wrote in a social media post that the legislation House and Senate Republicans have come up with is “under the circumstances, a very good funding bill.” It would, of course, add hundreds of billions of dollars to the national debt.
