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?
