    It didn’t cut funding. It expanding funding leading up to next years funding bill. It also expanded executive powers needlessly. Vaguely worded clauses that will be used for more executive overreach. So ya. Shutting down the government for a week or two to force a bipartisan CR, and showing the american people what it looks like when they cut half the government for tax cuts this summer.

      Non-Defence spending decreased 13 Billion with the CR compared to last year.

      I would have preferred the shutdown, but don’t act like it would have accomplished needed goals in opposing the Budget or the Executive Branch.
