I'm on the fence of: This is a disaster / Trump had no choice. Surber's "spin": Friday, March 23, 2018 On the budget: You fight the battles you can win Paul Ryan just won his last budget as speaker before he hands over the gavel to Pelosi in January. Ryan is a DC lifer who spent only one year in Janesville after graduating in high school -- and that was only to establish a residency to run for Congress. He no more represents Wisconsin than "That '70s Show" does. There. Got that off my chest. Now to discuss why President Trump did not veto the budget bill. This is a battle he cannot win. The power of the purse belongs to Congress, and every presidential budget is dead on arrival. Every year, the opposition party reminds the president of that. This budget is the first truly bipartisan measure to pass during the Trump Era when America became great again. The children got to order the meal, and it is all candy, candy, candy. Funding for the Democratic Party via money laundered at Planned Parenthood continues. The abortionists get the money to cover "free" abortions (billed as women's health services) and then donates much of it back to Democrats. The Hyde Amendment be damned. Republicans have done this for years. They never stopped. Why should they stop now? Ryan stiffed funding for the wall, causing Ann Coulter to have palpitations. But what was the president supposed to do? Really shut down the federal government for two weeks until surrendering. He has no base in Congress. His base is among the American people. So the swamp critters won a round. I have better things to worry about.
