Any Continuing Resolution is going to fund the same stuff it's funding now - that's how CRs work.<br /><br />And I'm not sure what the Republican Party under the bizarre ADHD chaos of President Trump can actually do. They've gotta work around some truly bark-at-the-moon crazy assholes in the House, then they have to deal with a razor-slim majority in the Senate, the Filibuster, Budget Reconciliation rules and electorally vulnerable Republican Senators. <br /><br />It's always kind of interesting to watch them snatch defeat from the jaws of victory once again...mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057701313718589322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-37520931976654783732017-04-25T23:05:34.808-04:002017-04-25T23:05:34.808-04:00I work for a non-profit partially funded by federa...I work for a non-profit partially funded by federal grants, too. Specifically, $200,000 from Legal Services Corporation and $150,000 of Community Development Block Grant funds, both of which the President's budget eliminates entirely. <br /><br />I've spent my entire career trying to help people,earning (without complaint) about 1/3 of what I'd be making if I was representing the rich and the powerful. <br /><br />So yeah, it hits home. It's personal. <br /><br />I'm happy to say I wasn't fooled by the crap this guy said during the campaign. He's just as Randian as the rest of his party.
