Gov't shutdown over Christmas?...Congress hammered out a bipartisan deal to keep the country functioning, but at the last minute our #1 Oligarch says NO DEAL. Here's an excerpt from the attached article...
-------------------
“This should not pass,” Musk posted on his social media site X in the wee hours of Wednesday morning.

The outcome comes as no surprise for Johnson, who like other Republican House speakers before him, has been unable to convince his majority to go along with the routine needs of federal government operations, which they would prefer to slash.

It all shows just how hard it will be for Republicans next year, as they seize control of the House, Senate and White House, to unify and lead the nation. And it underscores how much Johnson and the GOP leaders must depend on Trump’s blessing to see any legislative package over the finish line.

“What does President Trump want Republicans to do: vote for the CR or shut down government? Absent direction, confusion reigns,” said retiring Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, in a sly post on X.Musk, who is heading the his new Department of Government Efficiency was leading the charge against it, warned that “Any member of the House or Senate who votes for this outrageous spending bill deserves to be voted out in 2 years!”

What Musk doesn't understand is that the GOP has thin margins in both the House and Senate, so in essence, they NEED to strike negotiated, bipartisan deals...sooner or later, and "Later" most always invites harm to the American public. He's not in charge of a company...it's a representative democracy...at least as long as we can keep it that way.
