  1. Question were not at war why is the government trying to increase defense spending and why does it cost money to remove a mandate? It shouldn't cost more money to remove a vaccine mandate it should save money I'm very confused.

  2. At least it was passed, if it was up to Republicans, they would have shut down the government until Social Security is cancelled.. VOte them ALL OUT !

  3. Running our government one week at a time.
    A true legislative triumph !

  4. But y’all can give reparations🤷🏼‍♂️

  5. Imagine if Americans just told their boss "Sorry I didn't get it done in time. I need to be payed more to finish my job"
    Do politicians forget the American people are their boss??

  6. So all vaccines are not mandated now or just the one that hurts mcarthys feewings? If you've never served you have zero business legislating over service.

  7. Should spend 3 trillions annually to Defense spending and let us eat grass for living.

  8. old white political fodder.

  9. They act like tomorrow is guaranteed. People in the house already said goodbyes. These 80 year old senators and stroke patients think they will make it til next week.

  10. Congress is horrible at its job. Funding the Government for a week? Wow, give them a raise.

  11. We already know but they let it to be known the Republicans are not going to do nothing not going to pass not one bill in the house to benefit the people of the United States. And they were talking about inflation and everything else that comes with .We that knows better this wasn't a surprised this was going to happen anyway with the inflation the whole world was shut down but you got those thinking that America is not part of the world with this inflation height. crime was their major issue but we already know that the NRA is pocketing and banking their accounts
