Dither/do nothing/pass no bills until September 30th 2. Yell and scream about the government shutting down 3. Pass a "stopgap" bill taking government spending to November 4. Pretend to still be arguing in November, pass a "stopgap" bill taking spending to mid-December 5. Use pressure of Christmas recess to get another "stopgap" bill to the following March. 6. And the process starts all over again The Senate could have been passing bills so conference committees could battle out the differences. But the Senate intentionally DOESN'T pass any bills so the above process can happen year after year. And both McConnell and Schumer want it that way. They don't want the House to control spending levels (as is their Constitutional power). And the Republican Speakers (Boehner, Ryan and McCarthy) go along with it EVERY time. . And here we go. . . . . . . Tell us you don't really know what your constituents want without telling us you don't really know what your constituents want. John, dude. C'mon. Nice ratio Senator. Maybe you should listen for once. People are fed up. Not just with government, but with incumbent representatives who helped create the problem through passage of massive spending packages. Members of Congress who are beholden to defense contractors, endless wars and Big Pharma rather than their actual constituents. Members of Congress who enable a corrupt regime and do nothing as they witness the erosion of our Judicial System and unrelenting attacks on our Constitution. Our National Debt is a ticking time bomb. Interest payments are now the federal government's fastest growing "federal program." The federal deficit is about to double in size. Double. And what do we have to show for this out of control spending? Our major cities are unrecognizable hellholes. Inflation is a cancer, eroding the quality of life for lower and middle class segments of our country. Yet virtually no one in Washington is calling for a smaller federal government or material budget cuts. Nor is there any accountability for the incredible amounts of waste. The federal government should be a small fraction of its current size. You know this - but for personal reasons you vote for the opposite. If the federal government was a corporation, you all would have been fired long ago. Instead, you're protected by incumbency. Insulated from those you claim to represent. Our federal government is the wasteful, corrupt, bureaucratic monstrosity our Founders sought to protect against. And everyone in DC is part of the problem. Parasites all. You don't work for us. So why should we work for you? https://twitter.com/themarketswork/status/1698776695187325322? https://twitchy.com/samj/2023/09/05/john-cornyn-gets-a-rude-awakening-whining-about-the-gov-shutting-down-n2386862 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to trace where it came from. It comes from a forum (thing TBD) post from an anti-immigration group, which in turn references what looks like an old Tucker Carlson interview (it has the Daily Caller imprint, which I think is Tucker's old operation) with some guy not identified in the clip simply stating this, without a source. It is not true. Illegal entrants do not get any sort of payment. I know people who work in this field and I can assure you there are no such payments. Is it simply made up? Is the source mixing up people accorded refugee status abroad who are legally admitted to the United States as refugees? They may qualify for some assistance, but that is a very different group (including things such as Afghan interpreters for the U.S. military who risk retribution from the Taliban) than those coming across the border illegally. It is quite literally fake news. People should double-check these things before posting and reposting. If you have an actual source refuting what I just said, please find it and post it here.
