Do you support the Stop STUPIDITY Act?

The Senate approved of a bipartisan budget by voice vote. Trump refused it. Congress did not delegate any responsibility to anyone else.

The Bill enables Congress to dodge the need for negotiations. After all the Dems didn't go back to Congress to work on a new Bill. They just dug in their hills as much as Trump. Also Trump has a right and power as POTUS to veto the Bill. Congress could override the veto but didn't bother.


This bill does not provide any minority any additional power than any other law provides.

Wrong. The minority party in one of the House could stonewall a funding bill with any need for the minority party to negotiated. Beside other examples were provided by other users already. You can not entertain a hypothetical, nothing more.

Congress and the President are the ones in the driver's seat. They're the ones who need to feel the pain when they don't act like adults.

Yet this bill bypasses some of the pain by reducing it on people that could create backlash against stupid politics.

I'll just point out again: this bill does not give Congress any powers that it doesn't already have; it doesn't delegate any Congressional duties to any other body or person, and it doesn't give any "minority' any powers it doesn't already have. Let me know if you ever come up with a coherent reason to oppose the bill.

It delegate fund responsibilities to a law. /check. It enables the minority power to shutdown the majority with no major consequences in government /check. It enables the minority if holding that position for years to stall funding reform as it defaults to previous funding which is insufficient or does not exist. (government hires new employees but does not have increased funding for those employee's wages). It is band-aid created by partisan politics to avoid their own political fallout in their own political games.


Your failure to create and consider hypotheticals is not my problem it is your own. Again other people have provided you examples and you ignored these as well.
