Larry Kudlow on the Senate GOP: Supporting the omnibus spending bill is 'undemocratic beyond belief' | Fox News Video

FOX Business host Larry Kudlow criticizes Senate Republicans for backing the massive omnibus bill on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.'

Point 1.5 is interesting, and point 3.30 (I believe)

That damn McConnell.. Isn't there a way to get rid of that traitor?

K says that Rs this last election ran on cutting spending.. now this.

McConnell is not even a R anymore IMO.

Kudlow isn't very bright is he? It's not difficult to understand why he wants to spend the money now.

Kudlow is very bright

and also he always seems to have the face many of us Americans have since potato stole the WH: grim

I like people whose faces reflect reality... not much to cheer about these days.. it's one reason I always liked the rather sad looking DeSantis..

(though he looked rather happy on election night recently)

I think McConnell is just trying to outfox the lame duck Democrats.

how so?

by passing a huge spending bill, something they always want no matter how ridiculous? makes no sense

I don't know, but the Democrats are otherwise capable of scorched earth legislation between now and Jan. 3rd. They also understand that they will lose the Senate in 2024, since twice as many Dem seats will be up for grabs.

Like what? This is their administration.
If the government shuts down? Bad for democrats.
If Republicans control the Budget? Bad for democrats.
If its gridlock until the 2024 election? Bad for democrats.
If the new migrants riot and trash the sanctuary cities? Bad for democrats.

I'm sure they would like to do everything they can to handcuff the incoming GOP majority in the House and end the filibuster in the Senate. The only thing stopping them may be McConnell's tactics. Otherwise, they could claim a national emergency and give unilateral powers to the White House.

Horseshit....Where are they going to get the votes for that?

 

[my2¢]

I suppose a budget that's 3 months late is better than never. I just read that it has been 26 years since they got the budget done before the start of the new fiscal year. What gets me is the time they put into these freaking congressional hearings to embarrass this-president-or-that while the real business of the country awaits.

The new congress has nearly a full 9 months to get the 2024 budget done. Hopefully they begin work immediately on putting something together that's fiscally responsible for a change.

Democrats still have majorities in both Houses until January 3rd. They may be willing to moderate this year's budget in return for the fig leaf of bipartisanship.

 

[Zincwarrior]

I don't believe budgets are subject to filibuster, but I could be wrong on that.

How so? Blacks destroyed cities all across the country and got away with it.

At this point nothing is bad for the left unless ballot harvesting is banned

 

[1srelluc]

I don't believe budgets are subject to filibuster, but I could be wrong on that.

I don't know if it's being done under budget reconciliation or not. If so only a majority is needed.

Created by the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, reconciliation allows for expedited consideration of certain tax, spending, and debt limit legislation. In the Senate, reconciliation bills aren’t subject to filibuster and the scope of amendments is limited, giving this process real advantages for enacting controversial budget and tax measures.

so are you saying, as I lean toward thinking myself, that McConnell is in the dimrats' court?

looks like it

I wouldn't hold your breath

When they are not investigating thing to death, they are taking a vacation
