Be Careful What You Wish For

 Well, he’s clear about what he cares about:

The Republicans lost big on Debt Ceiling, got NOTHING, and now are worried that they will be BLAMED for the Budget Shutdown. Wrong!!! Whoever is President will be blamed, in this case, Crooked (as Hell!) Joe Biden!" Trump said on Truth Social. "Our Country is being systematically destroyed by the Radical Left Marxists, Fascists and Thugs - THE DEMOCRATS. UNLESS YOU GET EVERYTHING, SHUT IT DOWN! Close the Border, stop the Weaponization of 'Justice,' and End Election Interference - WE MUST HAVE HONEST ELECTIONS."

He’s going to be very annoyed to find out there are government functions that are already funded and not subject to the funding bills Congress can’t agree on right now. Although Congress is functioning the way he wants it to:

To the best of my recollection all past shutdowns were based on the house not agreeing with the senate or both houses in conflict with the executive. I don’t remember one that came about because the house couldn’t agree with itself. Basically a shutdown because the House can’t come up with its own position to negotiate with the senate and the White House.

Not the way he says he wants it to; but the ways he’s asking for it to. You know, like those proverbial deals with the Devil? Or wishes on the monkey’s paw?

Yeah, Trump is getting exactly what he wished for. Sucks to be him.

And apparently this is what Trump means by getting “something” instead of “nothing.”

House GOP is demanding - or else they’ll shut down the government - that the following be cut 27%: 

-Social Security Administration 

-Nutrition assistance for poor newborns 

-Money to ensure our drinking water is safe 

-Most federal education money 

-Federal cancer and stroke research

I’m a little confused about the infant care issue. Is that because Dems are aborting babies after birth, so fewer newborns need nutrition assistance? 

And obviously SS Administration needs to be 27% less efficient, for the good of the country on Medicare and SS. I understand the over 65’s went for Trump in 2020. They’ll be good with this, right?

Cutting federal education money is gonna hairlip Texas GOP Senators who say schools get federal money, they don’t need more state money (or the money the state takes away from them now).

Safe drinking water? Doesn’t everyone just drink bottled water now?
