Deep dives
GOP conservatives aim to defund Woken weaponized bureaucracy
House conservatives are standing firm against passing a continuing resolution and are demanding a major cut to non-defense spending, aiming to defund the Woken weaponized bureaucracy. They want to bring spending back to pre-COVID levels, which would result in about a 20% cut. They also want to include parameters that would prevent funding from being used for disinformation campaigns against conservatives and targeting conservatives through the FBI or any other government agency. They believe this is a critical leverage point to send a message to the bureaucracy and ensure that funds are not being used against the American people.
The danger of uncontrollable government spending in Ukraine
Recent reports have revealed that the US government is funding various initiatives and businesses in Ukraine, leading to inflation and potential negative impacts on the US economy. These include funding for firefighting salaries, small business bailouts, and even events such as gay pride parades. This has raised concerns about the misuse of taxpayer money and highlights the need for stricter oversight and more targeted spending decisions.
Potential government shutdown over spending battle
Conservative House members are standing firm in their demand for major cuts to non-defense spending, pushing back against continuing resolutions and pushing for a real debate on appropriations bills. They aim to defund the Woken weaponized bureaucracy and prevent funding from being used for disinformation campaigns and targeting conservatives. While there is a divide among Republicans on this issue, conservatives are prepared for a potential government shutdown in order to achieve their goals.
