“I think the first thing you do is you pass the bipartisan bill that's in the Senate,” Jordan said on Thursday, speaking on Fox & Friends. “We take that bill up here in the House and we pass it. It's no shutdown act.”
Jordan referred to the bipartisan bill introduced by Sens. James Lankford (R-OK) and Maggie Hassan (D-NH), the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act, requiring all members of Congress to continue working if appropriations are not passed on time. If funds do run out, an automatic continuing resolution would be enacted on rolling 14-day periods.
“That would take this whole shutdown politics, shutdown scenario, shutdown stuff off the table,” Jordan said. “You do that and then you focus on the legislation, and frankly, if we need some kind of continuing resolution or some stopgap measure, I think it should go all the way in the next year.”
That's a very interesting strategy.
If passed, it would eliminate the Dims' annual threat of
"fund all our programs that are destroying civilization,
or we'll starve your babies and puppies,
and scream about how it's all the Republicans' fault!"
Of course the Dims would never consent to
losing one of their favorite weapons to scare the dumb masses.
How many nanoseconds will it take for the Dims to
scream about how this bill is "raaaacisssst!"?
