Until 1916-the American citizens were never taxed. The country ran on tarriff's from other countries trying to sell their goods to us. What happened? 1776-1916????

[eddiearmijo]

All in the Food Service industry should walk off the Job. Lets help ttumps GOP And the UAW Shut the Gov down.

[jamesowen]

8%??! Should least be double that cut to get us back down to affordable spending

[mrs.donohue]

How is it the government's constitutionally delegated right or responsibility to fund or run any of the three letter welfare agencies that this man spouts? How it is a federal delegation from the States? Any government, most of all the Federal government is the least likely entity to truly transform the lives of those in need.

Enough waste of American worker's money takes my breath away. Both bodies need to grow up and spend only what you can bring in without taxing the American workers to the bone-Get it done. Cut the Administrative state of every department by 50% today. That would be a good budget.

[jefferyrightmire]

END the Bureaucrasy and the democrat party.

[gabrieleemccollough]

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!! NO MORE RIDICULOUS SPENDING!!!! AMERICA FIRST ❤❤❤TRUMP2024 ❤❤❤❤

[johnwilliams]

Even border security? What border security?

[sharonhusby]

McCarthy grow your spine and do what's right for us the American People. Don't be a rhino like many others.

[oldmandouche]

The clown is the man they put in charge.

[noerodriguez]

Shut it down all government employees, just have to wait on their pay. American citizens that do not work for government depend on their own hard work. Democrats brought this problem, with their Bidenomics.

[daviddroescher]

Listen hear Bozo . Just who do you think is supposed to run the circus? The clowns, hope it's not the monkeys . The big boss that is willing to also do the little job is the best big dog boss.

[goosecouple]

Shut down could be a very good thing for Americans.

[cooke]

Which branch of government is constitutionally mandated to cover all government spending dude needs to read his constitution again.

KEVIN MCCARTHY GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER.

[shadowman]

Remove the word republicans and replace it with Biden that’s more realistic

[markearley]

It took 15 votes to make him speaker of the house. I hope it only takes 1 to get him out. He needs to be put in the unemployment line. TRAITOR

[phyllisharrell]

Democratic needs to go out and talk to let people know what the replubicans are doing
