I just hope Ukraine funding got passed.
Im with you and im all for funding the fight against putin but im a bit selfish in that I want our government funded. They should have insisted on a full 12 months of funding for our government as well as ukraine if they want the border tightening stuff.
This whole budget thing only goes to the end of March or something which is insane. Like this is definitely becoming the norm where we end up in this same spot every few months and it’s getting worse. Pretty soon this is going to end up as a monthly battle of whether or not the US will pay its bills.
Oh yeah if its for biden sure. We thought at first it was just to have a functioning country because then we would have said no. Don't you worry though we will keep it short term so that our debt gets a nice fat downgrade.
Pretty sure it just means that it goes to Biden next, not that they did it for Biden
yeah I was making fun of the title. I know they have been bad for many years but I swear they are getting worse.
