Stuck on immigration, House GOP delays August recess
Washington (CNN) - On what was supposed to be the last day before summer recess, dysfunction reigned in Congress.
House Republican leaders called off a vote Thursday on their $659 million emergency response to the border influx from Central America overwhelming immigration resources, unable to agree among themselves about what to do.
From CNN Politics
- Social Security will not be able to pay full benefits in 2034 if Congress doesn't act
- 10 Cards Charging 0% Interest Until 2024
- Federal judge says insurers no longer have to provide some preventive care services, including cancer and heart screenings, at no cost
- Biden says government will cover cost of Mississippi storm cleanup
- Republican leaders and Trump loyalists on Capitol Hill rally behind the former president after indictment
- Florida House passes bill extending ban on sexual orientation and gender identity instruction to 8th grade
As if ANYONE really expected them to do anything else?? Any move they make on this is strictly political to fool the uninformed to vote for them. The absolute worst Congress in history
The House Republicans are mostly what is broken in government. They failed to pass a bill to fund what they claim to want the most, mass deportations. It is obvious that there is a growing faction within among conservatives that have no wish to see government function on some level, or even exist. How come government only breaks when Republicans are in charge.
I really love this new sit-com called 'Congress'! Well actually, its not new. It has been airing since January of 2009.
Its a funny show about a dysfunctional family that can't agree on ANYTHING so each episode ends with them doing NOTHING!
