So much winning....
One of the things I fail to understand is why this is allowed to happen. We already know this is going to happen, so why can't we prevent it? It's not difficult.
Something like this:
- Thirty days prior to a potential shut down, Congress and the Senate is not paid, not allowed to leave Washington, and no other bills or laws are passed until this is resolved.
- In the event of a shut down, a certain percentage of the past budget should be automatically set aside to allow the US government to continue.
- In the event of a shut down lasting more than one week, members of Congress and the Senate should be fined a percentage of their yearly pay.
- In the event of a shut down lasting more than one month, special elections will be called for to replace both all members of Congress and the Senate.
I fail to understand how this happens. Not just this time, but also with past administrations. They know these deadlines are coming up. In this case, the Trump administration was scrambling to ram through this tax bill just to make it look like they accomplished something.
