Yeah, they should have. Congress ended up doing the opposite, forcing him to continue funding. Democrats don’t have nearly the party unity that Republicans do around immigration, I think that’s why it keeps being leveraged as a wedge issue.

I thought you were saying they were ineffective at enacting their agenda because they didn’t use rescission packages.

If we’re talking about what you just said I have no quarrel.

I’m with you there but you could not have got even a simple majority of elected representatives to agree to that. It would have to be something that Democrats broadly support.

Well a rescission package can only be used to cut spending, so it couldn’t have been used by the Democrats to pass new spending.

What do you think they should have used it to cut?

The only differences I can think of is not chickening out on the tariffs and forcing the interest rate lower to kick off runaway inflation.
