Anyone who wants government to be efficient and not waste money is an “anarchist”.
Via Daily Caller:
With just over two days remaining to avoid a government shutdown, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid rejected House Republicans’ latest plan to fund the government, reiterating his intention not to negotiate on that bill.
Speaker of the House John Boehner announced Saturday morning that the House would attach a one-year delay of Obamacare and a repeal of the medical device tax to the funding bill. The House is expected to vote on that bill some time on Saturday and send it back to the Senate. The new plan comes after the Senate rejected the House’s initial offering, which funded the government in a bill that defunded Obamacare.
Reid has said multiple times that his Democratic Senate will not accept any government funding bill that includes measures affecting the healthcare law. On Saturday, he dug in his heels.
“Today’s vote by House Republicans is pointless,” Reid said in a statement. “As I have said repeatedly, the Senate will reject any Republican attempt to force changes to the Affordable Care Act through a mandatory government funding bill or the debt ceiling. Furthermore, President Obama has stated that he would veto such measures if they ever reached his desk.”
