The government practically runs itself. Congress passes CR after CR. CR's simply say "continue to spend as you've spent in the past." Basically they say, do almost whatever you want, Mr. president. CR's are lazy and wasteful. The only other thing Obama needs from congress is to raise the debt ceiling from time to time, because the spending rate is so out of control. One must be having a heck of a party to have a $16T debt ceiling and say, "that's not enough, give me more?" Regardless, the president is having his nice party at our expense and he only needs congress once or twice a year.
Congress is equally important to the president under our constitution. Under our constitution, the House initiates all spending. When exactly should the House ask for things it wants, if not when the president needs the House? Because, guess what? The president doesn't care one whit about what the House wants the rest of the year. This is the one time the president needs the House and it's the House's one chance all year to get something they need. So yes Mr. president, now is the time to negotiate. The president even gets a two-for-one sale this time, because the CR and debt-ceiling coincide.
It's not a threat, it's not blackmail. It's giving a little to get a little. Yes, Obamacare was passed, but it wasn't funded. If you want it funded too, make a deal. It's the way our system works. Maybe you should have been watching and learning, instead of smoking dope all those years, Mr. president?
