Republicans reject spending bill, under pressure from Trump and Musk

iu


President-elect Donald Trump delivered a probable death blow to bipartisan congressional budget negotiations on Wednesday, rejecting the measure as full of giveaways to Democrats.

“Republicans must GET SMART and TOUGH. If Democrats threaten to shut down the government unless we give them everything they want, then CALL THEIR BLUFF,” Trump said in a joint statement with JD Vance, the vice president-elect.

It was a display of dominance from a president-elect still a month away from inauguration.


 
Do a short term extension to let the new administration have a chance to cut waist out of the bill.
It buys them time to find the waste, if there is much. Overhead is so low these days, it would be tough to find much waste that is not benefits, but if it exists, trump and Musk are trying to get time to find it. Instead, trump and Musk will be stuck trying to keep the government from collapsing. That means no time to look for waste.

Waste: Keeping people alive. Not Waste: Money in Musk's pocket.

First off, Democrats are not threatening to shut down the government. Reality is threatening to shut down the government. If there is not money to run the government, it shuts down.

Second, this is the opposite of what Democrats want. They are getting the opposite of everything they want. They want a budget with their priorities, and instead are just getting a continuation of the past.

trump wants to call the bluff of the speeding train. he is sure the train will swerve. It does not matter that trains do not work that way.
