With the next battle over government funding looming, it’s time to talk openly. To the detriment of all Americans, the executive branch under President Joe Biden is a largely unbridled monster, growing exponentially in size and strength each day, and needing to be curbed. There is
Thankfully, what plagues us, in this case the cure for big governments that encroach on our liberties, has been the same since the inception of the constitutional republic. A Biden administration cannot wreak more havoc, and the recession that drives the Bidennomics cannot become the new normal without taxes. And Congress holds the power of the purse.
If ever there was a time for legislative bodies to finally strengthen and wield power, it is now.
McCarthy to delay accounting for ‘dangling’ spending on Biden impeachment inquiry, some conservatives say
As expected, the Unionist Party in Washington has refused to do the right thing by returning spending to pre-coronavirus levels. Relinquishing power and reducing government has proven a near-impossible task throughout most of the country’s history.

That’s why President Ronald Reagan was perfectly right when he said, “No government will voluntarily downsize.” Today’s leaders should consider Reagan’s wisdom before it’s too late. The American people are fed up with a broken status quo of thoughtless spending and bad decisions. A different approach is required.
What makes things even more unsustainable is the fact that these out-of-control spendings are doing little to reward hardworking American taxpayers, to say the least. Sadly, the federal government has never collapsed like it does today.
Remember, the Founding Fathers envisioned a limited government that does some things well, rather than a giant unelected bureaucracy that does many things poorly. It’s hard to find a government program today that hasn’t been badly mismanaged and/or broken.
In 2022, Republicans regained control of the House of Representatives in part because they promised a different kind of governance. It was a statement that Nancy Pelosi would end the dysfunction and abuse that has become synonymous with her lead in the House majority.
Commitments were made to pass reforms, fiscal responsibility, orderliness, transparency, accountability and appropriation bills on time. Some of those promises were kept, some were not. The next move by Chairman Kevin McCarthy and his leadership team and committee chairs will long be remembered.
There is still time for Congress to pass a number of appropriations bills before the Sept. 30 deadline. They must assess the grim situation and decide if taking a long summer vacation was the right thing to do under the circumstances.
To solve this, the House Republican Congress should work late nights and weekends to get appropriations bills done on time. Legislation from crisis to crisis and continuous resolutions going one step further will not provide the answer. The United States has landed humans on the moon six times in three years. Indeed, within 30 days he can pass 12 spending bills.
It is worth noting that there is one big difference in the government funding debate this year. The multitrillion-dollar, 4,000-page omnibus hype that President Pelosi’s Congress ended upon its December 2022 dissolution is still very fresh in people’s minds.

Frankly, a constructive government shutdown would serve the American people better than another mass theft bill that no one would read, no meaningful discussion would disappear on vacation.

Just 90 days after Biden signed the so-called Fiscal Responsibility Act in June, the national debt has already increased by $1 trillion to a staggering $32.8 trillion. And since this time last year, the federal budget deficit has increased by $882 billion.

The title of this bill is as misleading as the Control Inflation Act. So, during the reign of Biden the Terrible, Washington is dabbling in old-fashioned trickery, but the American people aren’t laughing.
Once again, career politicians in Washington are saying whether they will fund their socialist utopia or not. It’s time to put their bluffing in order and stand firm for financial soundness, conservative principles, and freedom.
