Congress Needs To Do the PEOPLE'S Business - Not Their Own

The Congress is expected to pass a 118 page Continuing Resolution with very little pork in it. At least a lot less than what was in the original CR, which was well over 1,500 pages. It had nothing critical to keep the government running.

 

Like the 40% pay raise and the refurbishment of RFK Stadium, which had nothing to do with essential services.

This afternoon, Karine Jean Pierre tried to call out the Republicans for listening to Donald Trump, JD Vance and Elon Musk, and their criticism of the original CR. But in 30 days, Karine, they would be obligated to live with it.

Just in case you didn’t get the update, Biden will not be President soon, Karine. So, sit down, get a coffee, and be quiet.

Even Biden knows he is not going to be responsible. So, take a lead from your boss.

As for what is left in the substantially reduced CR, military and law enforcement will get paid. Federal employees will not be denied their pay over the holidays and into the New Year. National parks and museums will continue to operate.

No need to pack in goodies for Congress to take back to their districts. These are NOT ESSENTIAL to keep everything running.

Dick Durbin, in spite of his whining, does not need a pay raise. He and Schumer and Pelosi, and all the rest, can live off the millions they have already siphoned away over the years from the taxpayers.

And they don’t need the exemption from Obamacare that they force the rest of America to buy. Or their free, taxpayer-funded healthcare. They can buy their own healthcare just like the rest of America does.

So, while the CR is a stop-gap measure, soon the new Congress will be forced to create a real budget for the rest of the fiscal year which ends in September. And begin working on the next year’s budget right after that.

This is what Americans voted for.

It is time for the Congress to do the job WE THE PEOPLE demand they do.

Or in less than two years, some Senators and Representatives will be collecting $405 a week on unemployment, rather than $174,000 or more, working less than 180 days per year.
