Via Politico, a liberal outlet, your party is too intimidated by the nutjobs to do anything. Again, take it up with them. And no, the GOP does not have complete control, you mindless ho.
Democrats are finally in charge of the House. But they’re likely to skip one of their most fundamental responsibilities: passing a budget.
Eager to steer clear of another public intraparty battle, House Democrats are expected to avoid a vote on a budget this year, multiple Democratic lawmakers and aides tell POLITICO.
House Democrats are still drafting a budget, which would offer their first chance as a new majority to formally outline their broader agenda. But the resolution — which is purely a political messaging document and is not signed into law — would also stoke major ideological clashes within the caucus over “Medicare for All,” the “Green New Deal” and defense spending.
“We’re still proceeding as if we’re going to do one, but we’re also considering other options because we don’t know if we can get 218 votes for anything,” House Budget Chairman John Yarmuth (D-Ky.) said in an interview Monday.
Indeed, in a worst-case scenario for Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her party, the budget could be an embarrassing flop on the House floor.
