The Day We Sorta Almost Did Away with the Government As We Know It

We came very close today to radically reshaping America, at least in the House, by means of the Democrats sitting out voting to try to give the right-ward arm of the Republicans the budget they wanted. That would have been fantastic! I’m very impressed by this stunt. In the end, it was fun enough that Republicans had to vote against the proposed right-wing budget just to keep it from passing. But worry not! Then the House passed a budget almost as ridiculous.
