Trump, Chuck, and Nancy move closer to no-holds-barred deficit spending

by David Leach • January 4, 2019

The Democrats officially grabbed the reins of power from the Republicans yesterday as the 116th Congress opened for business.

After electing Trump’s personally endorsed candidate for House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi and the blue side of the unibrow aisle got right to work on a new rules package designed to make it easier to advance their big-government priorities.

Included in the rules that will govern House procedures for the next two years is the revival and expansion of the “Gephardt Rule,” which will allow Democrats to abolish the debt limit without the need to hold a pesky vote to do so.

If you thought congressional spending was out of control before, wait until it can be done without going “on the record.”

We've had mostly trillion dollar deficits for over 10 years, what's the difference?

I expect Congressional Republicans to publicly wail and gnash their teeth. In private, they'll be loading their own pork and projects onto the "budget".
