Fox News host Sean Hannity is asking House Republicans for the stopgap funding bill that was released in an effort to avert a government shutdown in his opening monologue on “Hannity” Wednesday. As of Wednesday, the U.S. national debt, which is a measure of how much U.S. taxpayers owe the country’s creditors, had topped $36 trillion and showed no signs of slowing, with a projected deficit of 2 trillion dollars by 2025.
SEAN HANNITY: Tonight, it looks like Donald Trump will face another Biden-era disaster when he takes office in January. That could mean a government shutdown.
Now, this continuing resolution now in Congress, is one total and unmitigated disaster. It’s hard to understand after this election that these elected officials think that government as usual – quagmire as usual – will continue. it is not This would fund the government until March, but at what cost? Raise the debt ceiling. At what price? Why should Donald Trump raise the debt ceiling when it’s Joe Biden’s problem?
This bill is now over 1,500 pages long. Big spending on pet projects: See, a new bridge in Baltimore along with an extra $100 billion for disaster relief programs and another $10 billion in farm subsidies. The resolution is also expanded the federal bureaucracy, funding a new Office of Telecommunications Spectrum Management and a new National Blockchain Deployment Advisory Committee.
The spending bill also gives the state of Maryland a fleet of National Guard fighter jets. It also transfers ownership of RFK Stadium from the federal government to Washington, DC Why are we giving them our stadium? In other words, you paid for it, a very valuable asset owned by American taxpayers. What, given the far left residents of the DC swamp?
Now, for some reason, this bill also makes clothing and textile imports from Haiti duty-free, but bans lithium batteries from other countries. Explain this. The cherry on top all this continuous resolution it’s a pay raise for members of Congress. That’s right. I think they worked a whopping 138 days, if my count is correct, a raise that few actually deserve. And for more than a decade, lawmakers have worked an average of about 140 days a year. That’s all they work for. It’s a part-time job.

And unfortunately, as a whole, their work has been unacceptable. Our budget is out of control. The bureaucratic state is a nightmare. The executive branch is rarely kept in check. As I have already said, it is time to return to the constitutional order.
