“The two-week holiday recess, a contentious health care debate and discharge petition showdowns are squeezing the House’s legislative calendar, raising doubts about whether lawmakers can finalize government funding before the Jan. 30 deadline. ” (The Hill)
Hard to imagine that, in real life, if a small or large business, or a corporation, had contentious deadlines to meet, those responsible for addressing them would simply walk away and say, "But wait, I am on vacation, so who cares?" Hard to imagine that the CEO’s, CFO, or CCOs would tell their shareholders, the crisis we created cannot be handled because, well, because we are on a two-week holiday recess. Can you imagine the outcry from shareholders? Can you even imagine how any shareholder would sit back and say, well, go right ahead. You have worked so hard at creating the crisis; take your time in attempting to remedy it!
And yet we, the taxpayer shareholders, those of who supposedly work for us, as in the Congress, seem to give zero shits in even trying to come back to work and try to fix the situation that they have, over and over, created in the first place!
Once again, another deadline is hovering over Congress. It did not appear out of the blue; it was not some unseen issue on the horizon. No, it had been recognized way back when Mikey Johnson decided to set his Congress free, trying to avoid the Epstein/Trump Files.
But, we the people, are once again relegated to mere spectators, as the public servants we are told work for us, are not working for us. Deadlines, oh my, oh my, how the Congress always seem so shocked when deadlines appear, as if the same members of Congress had no idea!
