People seem to think this doesn't matter and would rather bash OP for posting about this multiple times, but it's worth noting that the House has 11 working days to avert a government shutdown. Does it seem like they're a model of efficiency right now?
But somehow it always gets done. The MSM spin about the shutdown is always overdone.
House GOP is like a good old fashioned soap opera. It has been for this whole year. It is anti hunter anti joe. They have barely scratched the surface on doing anything for the public at large. The hardliners that are maga extremists and freedom caucus members do not want another CR. They also want to vote on items such as congressional term limits.

Right now????? When has the government ever been a model of efficiency? Have you seen the national debt? We built that up how? Efficiency…..lol
Debt tripled in Reagan era, doubled in Bush 43 era but folks here and now would just like to blame the left.

U.S. National Debt by Year
The U.S. national debt grew to a record $34 trillion by the end of 2023. It was just $16 billion in 1930.
You’re a moron. It’s both sides. No one ever said it’s the lefts fault only. Just defensive a partisanDebt tripled in Reagan era, doubled in Bush 43 era but folks here and now would just like to blame the left.

I just want to understand what you're arguing in this thread - are you saying: (1) they'll come to an agreement and avert a shutdown because they usually can get it done, or (2) that a shutdown could happen but it wouldn't be a big deal and/or it wouldn't last long anyway?
Okay. That is the case a lot of the time when this comes up but I think you will be wrong this time.
From the last fitch report when they downgraded us just over a month ago.
"The repeated debt-limit political standoffs and last-minute resolutions have eroded confidence in fiscal management."
At some point, we need to move beyond the political gamesmanship. This is not the time for that fight.
It's funny the party who is not in control always seems to be the one who says it's time to stop with the political games. Yet when the roles reverse they play the same game. The politicians win....the people lose. It's never going to change until we get people who are more concerned about the people than the power they have.
When has it ever been the time for that fight?
Right. That’s why you need a 3rd party with 5 senators and 20 something members of the house. Both parties would need to court their votes. If the 3rd party is made up of rational thinkers, we may have a chance.
Just not true.
Have the fights on the budget but skip the political posturing a month after the US credit was downgraded because of it.
Are you trying to tell me the democrats never play this game and hold things up when they can. LMAO
I have no problem with that, but let me know when political posturing doesn't happen by either side. Everything these people do on a day by day basis is built around political posturing.
They've played games for sure, but never to the level of flirting with default like republicans have if we're being honest here.
Right. I don't disagree, but to do it again right after it actually hurt our credit rating?
Ok so we agree this crap happens by both sides. You don't like it this time for the reasons you mentioned. You think this time is different, I don't. I can agree to disagree.
Maybe the jerks should try figuring out ways to I don't know, cut spending in areas we don't need it like every non top 1%er does every single day.
