When I was a kid, they would use a searchlight when there was a Grand Opening for a new store or supermarket. Great way to get people to come to see what's going on.
The problems with the CR that passed are:
-
Didn't raise or eliminate the debt ceiling like Trump wanted.
-
Was supposed to be 3 separate bills (CR, disaster aid, farmer aid) but Johnson caved to the dems and put it all in one bill.
-
They didn't make cuts to offset all the increased spending so it just increases the debt and fuels more inflation.
For these reasons alone, I don't have a problem with these repubs voting 'nay'. And the clincher…ALL the dems voted for it…nuff said.
