Trump Tell GOP in Congress to Renegade on Agreement to Not Shut Down The Gov
The temperatures were cold in Washington DC and everyone thought all was set to pass a continuing resolution agreed by both parties, to get the federal government funded pass the holidays. But then a Voice from the warm Mar A Lago and other one from Texas belonging to Musk the president not elect. Between him and Trump thought in their ever wondering minds it was best for them to have the United States Default and not paid their bills.That should not come to a surprise to anyone who remembers Trump first sting as president. At that time because the multiple threads of default the Credit of the US was lowered. That made money the borrow a lot more expensive. He is not ye the President and he is doing the old playbook that cost him the election of 2019. Some people never learn, particular old guys who think they are always right. |
The fate of a bipartisan government funding bill is up in the air after President-elect Donald Trump criticized it yesterday, encouraging Congress to find another path forward. A government shutdown will occur at 12:01 a.m. Saturday without action from Congress. There is currently no fallback plan. “Republicans must GET SMART and TOUGH,” Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance said in a joint statement. “If Democrats threaten to shut down the government unless we give them everything they want, then CALL THEIR BLUFF. It is [Senate Majority Leader Chuck] Schumer and [President Joe] Biden who are holding up aid to our farmers and disaster relief.” Trump also demanded that the legislation include a debt ceiling increase, which neither party had even been considering, making clear he wanted it to happen on Biden’s watch. Later, Trump threatened the political futures of Republicans who didn't heed his warnings about the bill. “Any Republican that would be so stupid as to do this should, and will, be Primaried,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. Trump and Vance's opposition came hours after the heads of Trump's new Department of Government Efficiency, tech billionaire Elon Musk and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, both criticized the bill. In a torrent of posts on X, Musk repeatedly called it “criminal,” posted memes, and spread falsehoods. For example, Musk claimed a proposed congressional pay raise would be 40% — but the maximum potential pay increase for next year had already been set at 3.8%. The proposed continuing resolution would keep the government open until March 14. It includes disaster relief for communities affected by hurricanes Helene and Milton and economic assistance for farmers, among other provisions. |
