What can Libs do to stop the GOP from forcing Obama run the government on continuous continuing resolutions?
We could just force Obama to run the basics of the government on continuing resolutions so that no budget is ever passed.
And guess what?
Obamacare is not an “essential” so it would get no funding!
A continuing resolution is a type of appropriations legislation used by the United States Congress to fund government agencies if a formal appropriations bill has not been signed into law by the end of the Congressional fiscal year.

They can’t and that is likely exactly what will happen.

you may have a bit of a problem when the laws of Obamacare hit, with no funding… basically all those poor people have to get healthcare, but no gov. funding to help them?
in short, it will be a mess… and I’m not sure who’s going to take more heat over it…
but I don’t think putting the lower 40 percent in jail for tax evasion or more fines will help them…
