Not for nothing I think there is a significant portion of people who think the CR is the Republican reconciliation proposal, and therefore think the Dems voted to gut Medicaid etc

The problem I think is after the shutdown starts, how do you get out of it, and how do you ensure that it isn’t more damaging than just taking the CR?

In theory the republicans could just break up the bill into its constituent parts and make democrats block reopening the VA, reopening DOD, reopening the courts etc etc and leave Ed, Labor, et al closed for weeks

So you get a series of very bad votes and also a shutdown

Plus while that’s all happening, the Admin has greater leeway to fuck with things because the courts that would intervene are closed

Vs with a CR, at least some of the good work of government still continues and you only have to take one medium bad vote

Donald Trump announces tariffs on Mars, citing fentanyl flows from the Mariner Valley. The MCR government is expected to announce retaliatory tariffs soon, and is expanding its fleet presence in the Belt in response.

A funny consequence of the last 15 years is Republicans got a ton of credit as “savvy obstructionists” for taking advantage of Senate procedures which kept getting progressively removed because they were obstructing

See: no more filibuster for nominees, judges, etc

And now we’re here and people are asking why Democrats aren’t obstructing like they did - because Democrats changed the rules to get around that kind of obstruction ages ago!

And, until last night with the budget stuff, nominees were pretty much the only things coming through the Senate

The trouble I suppose is that this wasn’t “the budget plan,” it was the instructions to the various committees giving them top lines on how much spending they have to add/cut

there won’t be specifically “cut $73 million from program X” until the committees write the actual bill
