Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders

Journal by DeathMonkey

The Senate Budget Committee's new chair is an unabashed progressive and self-described democratic socialist prepared to be as "aggressive" as he possibly can with budget tactics to help Democrats and President-elect Joe Biden enact their sweeping agenda.

Under a narrow Democratic majority in the Senate, Bernie Sanders will oversee budget and spending work, including the procedural power of budget reconciliation the majority can use to evade the filibuster and pass massive bills without a single Republican vote.

‘Aggressive’: Bernie Sanders on his big plans as Budget chair

    The government is not a tyranny. Not yet. Biden hasn't even been in office for a full day yet. Be patient. Give it at least a week. Maybe ten days until the end of January.

    Things are in disarray at the white house. They have not yet had time to reallocate the border wall funds to start building the death camps, supervised by Hunter. There has not been time to restart the daily child sacrifices in the white house basement that were suspended when Obama left office. And the coup de grass (higher in THC) is The Holetm! This major project will divert a substantial portion of the military budget to The Boring Company in order to construct a tunnel through the center of the Earth from Washington DC directly to China. Xi can then smuggle a shadow cabinet of specially trained advisors to run the government so that Joe can get more sleep. This way Joe will only need to be awake for major public appearances, and semi-lucid when documents must be signed or missiles launched.

    Not all of the administration's plans have been announced by the white house press secretary yet. I hope I'm not letting too much of the short term agenda slip in advance of the announcements.

    (wow! I might be able to get a job at Fox News!)
