The government shutting down isn’t for a reason. It’s not a budgeting mechanism. It’s literally just Republicans, yet again, refusing to authorize payment for the programs they already authorized.
They do this repeatedly and regularly to force additional concessions on programs they don’t like. It’s got nothing to do with money and everything to do with social control.
They created a budget. They allocated money to shit. They all voted and it got approved.
Now they have to authorize payment of the thing they already said they’d pay for. It’s fucking asinine.
Is that less of a talking point for you? They lie, cheat, and steal to get crap cut in the original budget negotiations, and then they refuse to pay the bill until democrats agree to ridiculous hostage demands.

And they can be renegotiated at any time. Nothing is ever set in stone.
So when are Republicans going to ask billionaires to pull their weight in funding the budget?
Define “pull their weight”.
Don’t pretend you don’t know.
I have no idea. no one ever says what tax rate would be enough.
