What a lame duck speaker this guy is. Seriously. It's laughable.

First off, he's let this debt ceiling thing go way too far and now he's painted himself into a corner. Once again, he can't even get his own party to agree with him. Just a few days ago he said the proposal was FINAL and will NOT BE ALTERED.

Yeah. Sure. Right.


House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and his top allies have reversed course and changed their bill for raising the nation’s borrowing limit – and agreed to make two major changes overnight in a bid to pass the package Wednesday in their standoff with the White House.​
It’s not clear if even those changes will yield enough support to pass the bill, as House Speaker McCarthy can only lose four votes in the narrowly divided House. Yet, after days of proclaiming that the bill was final and that no changes would be made, leadership caved realizing that without some of these tweaks, the bill didn’t have a chance of passing.​
Republicans agreed to allow proposed work requirements for Medicaid beneficiaries to be implemented on a quicker timetable – a move intended to win over GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida and others who had warned they would vote against the bill without such changes.​
That, of course, will NEVER pass in the Senate and even if by some miracle it did, Biden would veto the hell out of it. (And rightly so.)

So, yeah. We're going to shut down for sure. This idiot has spent the last two weeks blaming everybody but himself. He gave away any chance he had of being a real speaker to become the speaker and now it's biting him right in the ass like everybody with a brain new it would.
 
We're in the middle of a Public Service strike. We got our taxes filed and refund back as they announced the strike. Our government has said no change in the deadline date for tax returns (Apr 30).

Kevin made big promises and now he'll have to backtrack on some to get things passed if at all.
