Why Republicans Won't Pass a Budget

Stan Collender: “McConnell said his plan not to do a fiscal 2019 budget was based on a soulless political calculation that his new 51-49 majority will make it hard, very hard or impossible for the Senate GOP to pass its own budget resolution this year, let alone to adopt one that will be acceptable to the House.”

“But what McConnell didn’t say was that the fiscal 2019 budget resolution will be the first that will show the bottom line impact of all the GOP policies: a $1 trillion or higher annual deficit every year of the Trump administration and beyond. Even if Congress and the Office of Management and Budget again choose to ignore the facts, the Congressional Budget Office, Wall Street and other private sector analyses will project annual trillion dollar deficits. McConnell doesn’t want his Republican members to face the political repercussions of having to vote for that.”

3. Agree +1000000

The gopers are running and hiding from the consequences of their actions. You are right that it is their game plan. I hope our party can come up with a strategy to blunt this.
I hope the media actually learns how to inform the public about the gop plan as well.
