We are less than 48 hours from the government shutting down because the MAGA Republicans in the House of Representatives don't do their job. They're dependent on Democrats once again to try to bail them out because all of the MAGA Republicans in the House of Representatives want to torch their own continuing resolution. They've never actually passed a budget. So we basically go month to month or every other month or so, and then there are All of these procedural maneuvers that are done, and then we have to pass continuing resolutions. And then the day before, there's all of this crisis, and then Democrats bail the MAGA Republicans out. Well, earlier this week, and I'm sure you probably have seen my reporting, MAGA Mike Johnson said, finally, there's a continuing resolution that has been prepared. He said that he's giving it to everybody to read.
But now Elon Musk, an unelected bureaucrat who's basically a co-president, and Vivek Ramaswamy, who run this fake government agency called Doge, they're saying kill the continuing resolution. Nobody should pass it. This is what Elon Musk's actual post is. This bill should not pass. And Vivek Ramaswamy goes currently reading the 1547 page bill to fund the government through mid-March, expecting every U.S. congressman and senator to do the same. OK, good for you. You're reading it. But then Elon Musk says this bill should not pass. So what do you want to do? You want to just torch the entire American economy? I think Elon Musk said that we should all suffer some form of economic hardship. That's the language that he used. What, do you want us to be like Javier Millay in Argentina and we should suffer Trump and Elon Musk austerity measures while y'all are partying in Mar-a-Lago and on private jets and Bentleys and Rolls Royces and whatever that we the people suffer?
You know, Donald Trump's proposed tax plan adds more taxes to everybody but the billionaires. Is that what you all wanted? Is that what you all voted for? Elon Musk, you certainly didn't vote for. I mean, he's not an elected official. He writes the following as well. Ever seen a bigger piece of pork? and he takes a photo of the bill. Now look, okay, 1,547 pages, whatever it is, is long, but you need a functioning government. I think it's ridiculous that MAGA Republicans literally dump this thing two days yet again before the government shut down. But that's what they've done before. Note, when the Democrats were in charge of the House of Representatives, you know what happened? There was a budget that was passed and you didn't have to do continuing resolutions every year and go through this again. Remember going back, what, three years ago or so or two years ago? At this point, Republicans refused to raise the debt ceiling. We're going to send the country into a Great Depression. Remember they said that? And Biden had to fix that. And they didn't pass a budget.
