VOTE ALERT: House Liberty Caucus statement on Senate amendment to #HConRes71, the budget resolution for fiscal year 2018
October 26, 2017
The House Liberty Caucus urges opposition to the Senate amendment to H. Con. Res. 71, the budget resolution for fiscal year 2018.
This budget never balances, and it adds $5.5 trillion—nearly double the amount added by the House-passed budget—to the national debt over the next decade. In fact, this is the fourth budget in the last seven years that never balances.
Passing a budget that doesn’t address out-of-control spending and adds trillions of dollars to the national debt just to achieve some policy goal—which also could be accomplished with a responsible budget—is an endorsement of a warped worldview where the end justifies the means.
Building a better America for ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren requires Congress to make tough decisions to reduce spending now. Unfortunately, this budget ignores Washington’s spending addiction and places the burden on future generations.

It's too early to tell, but it's a little reminiscent of Ronaldus Maximus, he's been Lionized for small government and limited spending, but that wasn't reality. Both sides reinforce this stuff. Check out the new Time Mag cover
According to them, Trump is tearing down government with wrecking balls.

I want something like the Sept of Balor or the Designated Survivor show to happen to Captiol Hill
No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session

I have no knowledge of what you speak. I've seen none of that. What catastrophies are you referencing ?

We'd end up with a Betsy Devos presidency. Wouldn't that be fun? Oh, but I am loving that show - it's really good.
Account abandoned.

YES !
Then we can finally become the Theocracy we've been frightened about for the last 50 years.

I've already seen 24, do I really need to see a version of it where Jack Bauer is POTUS? Not so much.

Surprised they didn't go Fonz and make Jack Bauer a terrorist by season fifteen.

Senate Republicans on Tuesday night leaned on a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Mike Pence to kill a landmark financial regulation that restricts banks and credit card companies from imposing mandatory arbitration on their customers as a means to resolve disputes.
That should come as no surprise to you, if you were aware that Congress has since 1926
statutorily encouraged the use of arbitration. Derp.
