| Oh My God: Obama Wants AUMF From Congress, But Won't Say What He Wants In It »
December 10, 2014
The CrOmnibus Is Upon UsThe incoming GOP leadership and the outgoing zombie Senate leadership have finally found something to agree on...spending your money. Lots and lots of it. Dubbed the “cromnibus,” the package includes 11 appropriations bills to fund most of the government through September 2015, and tacks on a continuing resolution to fund the Department of Homeland Security through February 27. Oh and the GOP successfully fought to modify DC's pot legalization plan. So there's that. I know you're tired of hearing from me about the GOP caved and is doing everything they can to avoid living up to the promises they won on six short weeks ago. So I'll let John Hayward do it for me. "Strong opposition to the House budget plan from the Republicans’ conservative wing could force GOP chamber leaders to rely on Democratic votes to avert a government shutdown. House Speaker John Boehner can afford to lose only 17 caucus votes before he must turn to support from House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. I've pushed the limits of what I can quote to entice you to read the whole thing, so just go read it. One thing I'd say to John is the problem isn't simply that the GOP leadership is playing their hand poorly, it's that they don't define "winning" in the same way the people who vote for them do. Boehner and the rest WANT amnesty. They just want some credit for it. They WANT more spending so getting the Democrats to shoulder the load of passing it helps them. If they passed a short term CR there would be pressure on the them to use their majority to cut spending and they can't have that. The GOP leadership isn't stupid. They understand the results of November's elections weren't an endorsement of pushing back too hard on Obama, they were proof that the GOP can do anything and win as long as they say the right things. Until that calculus changes, nothing else will. | Recent Comments
