Markey: Republican Paradox Is They Don’t Believe in Gov’t, But They Run for Office to Ensure It Doesn’t Work

RUSH EXCERPT:
MARKEY: "I would hope that we would resolve all of these issues. But let’s be honest. For all intents and purposes of the Republican Party has had the government in a slow-down, shutdown mode since October 1st. We don’t have a budget on the defense budget. The people understand it. That’s why the soldiers, sailors, Marines don’t have a guarantee. There’s no long-term predictability. And so does every director of a health care center or opioid treatment center in America. They’ve already been slow-rolling the government the entire way. We are just adding a little more honesty to the debate so the American people can understand what the Republicans have been doing. The Republican paradox is they don’t believe in government, but they have to run for office in order to make sure the government doesn’t work. They now control the house, the Senate and the presidency, and they’re still trying to pretend that they’re outsiders, that they don’t have a responsibility for making sure the government works for a third of the way of the fiscal year. They still have not produced a government that gives stability, especially to our military around the world."
