Republicans voting against raising the debt ceiling is the perfectly Trumpian thing to do.
- Commit to the funding
- Let people start planning - or start actual projects
- Renege on the promises and don't follow thru when it's time to settle up
- Pretend it's "the ethical thing to do"
It's a way the GOP can fuck with our heads.
ie: "We fucked up the government so you could see how the government's all fucked up. You need to keep us in power so we can go ahead and tear it all down and start from scratch, because - well, because it's all fucked up, dontcha see?"
GOP backdoor fuckery.
They need to get rid of that stupid rule so politicians can't use it to torpedo everything a year after the fucking budget was passed.
If you put a budget in place, then you've already made the commitment to pay for it when the time comes. It should take extraordinary action to change that budget after the fact.
Which brings it back to:
Trump did not remake the GOP in his own image. He's the perfect reflection of what that party has been morphing into for decades.
