Well, lessee if the House of Republicans will do this correctly and constitutionally by sending "Departmental Funding" much like "Line Item" Budgeting that has been purposed by many congresses and Presidents.
The original method of financing the Government was to send funding bills for each Cabinet Department through the law making process, based upon a "Budget' proposed by the President each year. For probably the last 30 years or so, it has been an "Omnibus" Budget with the whole kitchen sink thrown in and it was up to the nerds to pore through it to find excess or waste. In the last six years, the President has not put forth a budget, nor has the Senate (or House) approved one.
Instead, they have opted for the "Continuing Resolution" which just kicks the can down the road, and writes checks for all the bills that come in. No one actually oversees this process and the House, who is the holder of the checkbook, just asks the CBO to keep track of the numbers, but not the responsibility. And no one assumes the responsibility, but are ready, at the click of the microphone switch, to blame someone else. Add to that "partisanship" and the American Taxpayer gets it in the @ss every day!
In another thread, there is posted the names of the 24 Republican Senators who voted for Cloture in the Senate last night, or in other words, voting with the Democrats for Obamacare. While I didn't totally agree with the House movement, because I favor winning big in the '14 mid term elections and this will probably hinder that to a degree, once it became the goal, then it should have been a full majority of Republicans voting against funding Obamacare. But, those 24 Republicans are all old school, long time in power US Senators. They all need to be primaried out and replaced. If not for their votes last night, then just because they've been there too long and no longer represent their constituents in any manner.
O'Bozo refuses to "Negotiate" but that is exactly why the Government is structured as it is. The Executive Office must "Negotiate" with both houses of Congress as must those houses "negotiate" with each other. It was done this way to prevent ONE Entity from acquiring singular power, which is what O'Bozo has been attemp[ting to do by bypassing Congress so many times in the last 6 years by "Executive Order" and not having to present a Budget to Congress . . . O'Bozo's statement that he "doesn't have to Negotiate" is a gross assumption that Congress will continue to allow him the priviledge of being the "King" . .
He's not!
