What is stupid is kicking the can down the road again

[Angelum_Band]

And we are forced to send how much money to foreign countries again?

[XecularOfficial]

We really need to make not passing a budget illegal again. Congress doesn't seem to get anything done unless they are held personally liable

[mikechappell]

So we can shutdown after the election instead?| Do your damn jobs! What's the point of electing someone that only cares about getting reelected and gets nothing done?

[joshhoward]

Shut it down. Stop the crazy spending.

If it is illegal for undocumented to vote why it is so controversial to say it again?

[realityhurts]

Let it shut down. Its over bloated and unabashed frivilous spending.. need to stop now

[redlion]

They’ll never shutdown themselves but eventually the people will. They’ve stolen the people’s hard earned money/labor long enough.

[comradeyuri]

Why am I not surprised that Johnson folded again ! Listening to that RINO Mitch is the road to despair. Either you stand for principles or you have no moral compass. Welcome to the uniparty games !

[tappiepayne]

It's a about time the Republicans did something right

[francischambless]

DEFUND, DISMANTLE and DISPERSE the FED.

It always comes down to this..The American citizens held for ransom while representatives play " chicken"..

IF THE ACT BILL IS NOT INCLUDED WE SAY NO!!! DO NOT!!! PASS THE BILL! AND NO! HIDDEN PORK EITHER!!

the HOUSE has 1 job

creating a budget every year

whens the last time the HOUSE did their job ;
when Nancy Pelosi was in charge of a Democrat HOUSE

[cvn]

Screw that. Shut it down. You hold the power of the pursestrings, GOP. Do what the Dems always do and get what you want. Make our elections secure and stop illegals from voting. No more temporary stopgap measures, Congress. Do your freaking job and make an actual budget.

[maxfulmer]

Why can we not have a shut down? The government needs an annual budget! No if ands or buts. We the taxpayers have to live with in our budget, we can’t just print money when we need it. IT IS TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE AND BALANCE THE GOVERNMENT CHECK BOOK.

[marty]

Johnson avoids gov't shutdown = Johnson prints more money = Johnson increases inflation

[limited]

Here we go again. It's an annual event and so predictable.

[claytonj]

Johnson you freaking RINO shut it down!

[melissalarson]

Shut it down. If it's already illegal to allow non citizens to vote then they wouldnt care if it's in the bill. How stupid
