Every two years, in the first week of January, Congress starts their new session by swearing in their newest members. First order of the day, elect a new speaker that represents the majority.
You would think that this would be a foregone conclusion, considering the Minority Leader for the Republicans for the past two years has 90 percent support among Republicans in Congress. But don’t let that stop the freedom caucus who has nominated four different rivals to the front runner.
After eleven votes the one candidate that has over 200 votes of his peers cannot close the deal. As expected on cue the media has orchestrated an apoplectic ballet. Some suggest that the man with 90 percent approval should step aside and let somebody else take control. According to the congressional rules, the House Speaker does not have to be a member of the House of Representatives. So that got me thinking. Wouldn’t that be a riot, I mean just walk off the street and become the speaker of the house?
Just think of the thousands of bills you could pass in the house that would have no chance of being passed by the Senate. Well with the state of this Congress Republicans have little chance of passing any real legislation. I think, that they will only be able to get Democrats on the record opposing such things as, balanced a budget amendment, border security, and of course investigating the most corrupt administration in recent memory.
One way to hold the Democrats feet to the fire, is to pass a limited budget with massive spending cuts and the elimination of all earmarks. Or another route would be to say to Democrats, since you love twelve thousand page spending bills we’ve got one for you.
Instead of creating a budget loaded with pork, pet projects of Democrats and swampy Republicans, slip in spending cut triggers. What would that look like you might ask? Well, I was thinking of turning the entire budget into a national drinking game. For instance, if anyone in the media were to ask the president a question unrelated his policies, such as his preference on ice cream or the color of his socks, then that would trigger a $10 billion cut to the Department of Education and in turn that would be added The Defense Department’s budget. How about if you want to hire one IRS agent, then you would have to higher 100 border agents?
So now that we have are twelve thousand page budget, chalked full of Budget balancing land mines And enhanced border security. We give it a catchy name like super super green gender neutral pro public union bonanza. We will tell them it is loaded with money for high-speed rail and gender reassignment for the military. That would pretty much guarantee passage in the house and assure at least 90 senators voting for passage. One thing Congress has shown us over the past decade, they won’t hesitate to vote for any bill they are too lazy to read as long as it is loaded with worthless spending on silly green initiatives and woke policy.
