Who Is Controlling the Budget Bill? Trump, Johnson, or Musk?

Democrats seem to have disappeared. So who is determining things?

But some Republicans are well aware that the public hates government shutdowns and usually blames their party. Why walk into that trap?

Well, because Trump said to. Several hours after Musk began his barrage on X, Trump and his vice presidential pick, JD Vance, weighed in to second Musk’s demand, saying Republicans who control the House should scrap the existing bill and come up with a better one. So House Speaker Mike Johnson shelved the bill. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/president-musk-215238177.html

Good question! 😆

 

A day before a potential government shutdown, the House resoundingly rejected President-elect Donald Trump's new plan Thursday to fund operations and suspend the debt ceiling, as Democrats and dozens of Republicans refused to accommodate his sudden demands.

You're not kidding. But to be fair they were never really present, as this latest in a long long long line of "conspiracy theories" is proven factually true ie Biden was demented and incapable years ago and the democrats covered it up.

By the people for the people and all that.

Obviously the smart and wise American people voted for smart and wise people to handle all that.

The Democrats are just sitting back. Biden, too. It's like nobody is in charge. And the Republicans have hived off and Trump is already threatening to primary congressmen who don't vote on the latest budget extension. It all looks nutso.

Some called it organized chaos.  Problem is no one knows who the real organizer is.
