You want votes? Here’s 100 votes, Paul Ryan says
But he said broader topics such as immigration reform and tax reform are non-starters, as well as anything else substantial until after November 2016.
For the six remaining spending bills that have not been voted on yet, Ryan said Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers, R-Kentucky, would meet with rank and file so every Republican can “give their input on their priorities”.
However, nearly three years ago, President Obama became impatient with doing nothing, and senators from both parties felt they could take a risk because the elections of 2016 were far enough in the future.
The party purists are also willing to compromise crucial party beliefs to make the country better for the American people they represent.
‘So can we pass everything we want into law right now, without the Senate and the White House? No, we can’t. But that should not stop us from trying and from offering ideas’.
Now they are telling us to give them a Republican president and things will be different.
Paul filibustered the deal unsuccessfully last week and was one of 35 Senate Republicans to oppose the measure.
That should allow time to make wiser, longer-term spending decisions on military needs, he said, while also rooting out waste and abuse in current programs that tends to root and fester when the massive defense budget is funded on an ad-hoc basis.
Ryan is aiming the clown auto right at a government shutdown.
“I think we need to do more” than the party did in 2012, said Ryan, who has been assembling a large communications team to expand the speaker’s role in articulating a political message for his party. We want to rebuild the military. “I think that it’ll be an interesting dynamic to see how his appropriators react to his full conference weighing in on the bills of this committee, and calling it respect for the committee system”. So the common ground isn’t as broad as you would like it to be, but it will occur a few places’.
In Ryan’s case, he emerged as the unity candidate for speaker of the House last week after offering assurances to conservatives that he would not pursue comprehensive immigration legislation with President Barack Obama in the White House. He said it’s possible to get smaller immigration-related policy passed. I really hope those Democrat who recalled how much they enjoyed working with him are spot on. I gotta take issue with Ryan’s claim that Congress writes laws. What we need to do is advance principles, solutions, results, ideas, and we have to create an agenda with a vision based on our principles, and show the people of this country how we would do things differently, so the people of this country get to choose what kind of country we are going to have.
“We’re opening up the process”, Ryan (R-Wis) said.
“The only way forward is through a series of steps that begins with border security”, the Florida senator said Wednesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America”. “It is adding credibility to the argument that we can not do immigration reform because the federal government is not serious about enforcing immigration laws and preventing a future illegal immigration crisis”. “We haven’t done that as a Republican Party, and we have to do that”.
