Who Is Controlling the Budget Bill?

 

At least for now, fiscal hard-right GOP Rep. 'Chip' Roy of Texas.

No. Chip Roy is a result of a weak speaker and party leadership.

Trumps got it going, well under control....strict control. Biden, NOPE, he's done, mentally unfit to even play bingo at the old folks home.

Biden was forced to accept it.

Will work out for Trump in the end, as planned.

 

Didn't raise the debt ceiling?

Gosh, guess we'll just have to cut spending. 

Bigly!

Government shutdown is averted just after deadline as Congress rejects Trump’s debt limit demands

"Facing a government shutdown deadline, the Senate rushed through final passage early Saturday of a bipartisan plan that would temporarily fund federal operations and disaster aid, dropping President-elect Donald Trump’s demands for a debt limit increase into the new year."

 

"So is this a Republican bill or a Democrat bill?” scoffed Musk on social media ahead of the vote." 😆

Taking it from over 1500 pages, down to 118 pages.  But the MSM claims most of the provisions are still there...

 

The 118-page bill contains most of the provisions that were put in place in the bipartisan bill that was agreed to on Wednesday before it was killed after Musk criticized Republicans who supported it.

Perhaps Trump, with Musk's help, just sent a message "no more holding the gub'ment hostage with thousands of pages of your pork"?
