SEAN HANNITY: The ongoing solution is a ‘complete, unmitigated disaster’
Fox News host Sean Hannity, in his opening monologue Wednesday on “Hannity,” appeals to House Republicans to advance the emergency funding bill passed to prevent a government shutdown. As of Wednesday, the U.S. national debt – a measure of what U.S. taxpayers owe to the country’s creditors – topped $36 trillion and showed no signs of slowing, with a $2 trillion deficit forecast for 2025. Dollar is forecast.
SEAN HANNITY: Tonight, it looks like Donald Trump will face another Biden-era disaster when he takes office in January. This could result in a government shutdown.
Well, this continuing resolution that’s before Congress now is one total, unmitigated disaster. After this election, it is hard to imagine that these elected officials believe that government as always – the swamp as always – will continue. That’s not it. This would fund the government until March, but at what cost? Raise the debt ceiling. At what price? Why should Donald Trump have to raise the debt ceiling when it’s Joe Biden’s problem?
This bill now contains over 1,500 pages. It spends so much money on pet projects – let’s see, a new bridge in Baltimore, plus another $100 billion on vague disaster relief programs and another $10 billion in farm subsidies. The resolution also expands the federal bureaucracy funding a new Office of Telecommunications Spectrum Management and a new National Advisory Committee on Blockchain Deployment.
The spending bill also provides the state of Maryland with a group of National Guard fighter aircraft. Additionally, ownership of RFK Stadium will be transferred from the federal government to Washington, DC. Why are we giving them our stadium? In other words, you paid for it, an extremely valuable asset that belongs to American taxpayers. What, given to the far left Residents of the DC swamp?
For some reason, this bill now also makes clothing and textile imports from Haiti duty-free, but bans lithium batteries from other countries. Explain that. The icing on the cake all that sustained determination is a pay raise for members of Congress. That’s right. I think they worked a whopping 138 days if I counted correctly, a raise that few actually deserve. And for more than a decade, lawmakers have worked an average of about 140 days per year. That’s all they work. It’s a part-time job.

And unfortunately their work was overall unacceptable. Our budget is out of control. The bureaucratic state is a nightmare. The executive branch is rarely kept in check. As I have said before, it is time to return to constitutional order.
