Congress passed a budget—months ago. It authorizes way too much spending. Congress is now working to pass an appropriations bill (CR). It spends way too much. This shutdown fight is mostly partisan theater. These parties are working together to massively grow spending and debt.

While I agree too much money is being spent, let's be clear, CONGRESS did NOT pass a budget. The HOUSE passed a budget, the SENATE failed to.

Congress did pass a budget. Senate passed on 10/19/17. House concurred on 10/26/17. https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-concurrent-resolution/71/all-info …

So then you're saying Trump just didn't sign it, right?

Presidents don’t sign budgets. They are concurrent resolutions.

Yeah, OK, I see what you're doing now. The shutdown was about appropriations not "the budget", but you are purposely conflating the two to give the impression the Republicans did their jobs...even though they never passed appropriations for "the budget". SMH

I think you were just confused about how the budget process works. That’s okay. A lot of people are. I didn’t conflate anything. My original tweet separately mentions each process.

I'm not confused about anything. As I noted passing a budget without appropriating it means nothing and is nothing but Kabuki theater. Bravo on your "accomplishment". *eyeroll*

I voted no on both the budget and the appropriations.
