We're not going to like the terms of that, but like even worse, the...
the bloody stalemate that we're in right now where we're losing thousands of people on both sides a week.
It's just untenable.
What would be a much better idea would be just pass my Eliminate Shutdowns Act.
What that does, it sets up automatic rolling 14-day continuing appropriations for whatever department or all government that hasn't been appropriated for.
That would give the appropriators time to find areas of agreement, pass the bills they can pass.
The ones that don't, you just continue to fund at last year's levels.
That'd be a far more common sense approach than a one-year continuing resolution for all of government.
Give the appropriators time.
The appropriators, some Republicans even vote against the Eliminate Shutdown Act.
They said it would undermine the appropriations process.
Well, here's the alternative, a CR that goes into December of 2026.
So hopefully people will come to their senses and realize Eliminate Shutdowns Act is the solution to our current fix.
Well, the good news is that Leader Thun switched his vote to no so he could bring up for reconsideration.
Again, I was very disappointed in Republican appropriators voting no.
They said it would undercut the appropriation process, but let me describe that appropriation process it supposedly undermines.
I've been here 15 years.
That means we should have passed 180 appropriation bills before the start of the fiscal year of your funding.
We've passed six.
So this vaunted appropriation process, which is clearly broken, fails 96.7% of the time.
