    It didn’t cut funding. It expanding funding leading up to next years funding bill. It also expanded executive powers needlessly. Vaguely worded clauses that will be used for more executive overreach. So ya. Shutting down the government for a week or two to force a bipartisan CR, and showing the american people what it looks like when they cut half the government for tax cuts this summer.

      Non-Defence spending decreased 13 Billion with the CR compared to last year.

      I would have preferred the shutdown, but don’t act like it would have accomplished needed goals in opposing the Budget or the Executive Branch.

        Ah sorry I only saw the 6 Billion dollar increase in spending on the defense side.

        But ya saving 13 billion by what slashing IRS, and critical enforcement that would have also been shut down? Like thats the point. They’re cutting critical services and allowing more executive overreach. We’re just gonna stand by all year and watch them strip us of all our resources and leave us with crippling debt. This is foreshadowing for the next round of cuts and taxbreaks.
