House went home for Memorial Day break.

It's beyond arrogant for McCarthy to assume that the final bill wouldn't require a conference with the Senate.

That's because their budget was designed to hurt Americans so they can blame Biden. They're willing to do anything for power.

Now, is it arrogance or outright malice?

There's no reason to believe the current incarnation of the GOP House wouldn't steer the country right into the rocks.

If there is a deal, McCarthy stubbornly sticking to the 72-hour reading is insanely risky. Any changes would reset that clock.

He, like all conservative democrats, don't like to actually fight Republicans. They like to pretend they can make deals and show respect

I've heard it would cause the entire world to go into a massive depression. Like what happened in 1929, but for the entire planet. Also, people on government assistance programs don't get paid. Like for social security. That kind of stuff

You know what else is funny? There is a California State Assemblymember named Kevin McCarty (no H). Hes a Democrat.

Yes McCarthyism literally refers to the 50s paranoia about communists, and trying to accuse anyone you don't like as being one.

It's another failed policy of Reagan just like trickle down economics.

Unless Republicans actually want to cut military spending then 14th it.

There will not be a default.
This is dragged out to the last possible minute, every time, then a "miracle" agreement happens where both sides can claim victory.
