Looks Like GOP Determined To Pass NO FUNDING OF ANY Kind Until Obamacare Is Gone

[TheMastersNemesis]

That means no funding for anything except military perhaps. No budget for any of the agencies except what the GOP likes. Military, Homeland Security, military contracts. Domestic agencies all gone. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaide all gone.

That is what the Cruz piecemeal funding is all about. They will fund only those things that help THEIR people.

1. What's the Democratic response to this (so far)?

They should insist on funding for everything without conditions. Period.

3. Carney: "A piecemeal approach to funding the government is not a serious approach."

2. Why not just get it out on the table?

And refuse to pass any funding for anything until Obama resigns.

That's really what they want and their idiot supporters would have orgasms from hearing them say it.

5. They Want Obama AND Biden To Resign. President Boner?.

6. I am beginning to view this the same way.

They have abandoned a good part of the public at least 47% thanks to big mouth Romney. It seems that Republicans are working on a coalition and want to choose specific elements in the electorate.

7. Hse to do 3 special funding bills today. VA, Nat'l Parks & DC gov't so it can open... #fnpolitics

8. Hey, assholes! You will blink first or die a fiery death in 2014

Obama and Dems realize what is at stake--the very foundations of our government and society. You anarchist/terrorist/nihilists will lose and lose hard, you stupid stupid pieces of shit.

9. They can't defund Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid

Those are programs with automatic spending that Congress can't touch.

10. But They Can Furlough The Employees Running The Administering Of These Programs.

You need people to run these programs and the agencies running them have funding bills in the wings. If they don't fund them, they cannot work.

11. The same thing actually goes for the ACA as well

It is covered under Mandated Spending rules.
