Its not Monopoly Money to republicans who think that we have too much debt in the country, 11 Trillion Dollars for no particular reason, seems foolhardy. I should not be complicated. Funding the government is a basic power given to congress in the constitution. Its one of the few things that the United States constitution actually says that congress has to do it, its not optional. They have what you commonly here as the power of the house under the leadership of the speaker, Kevin Mccarthy, tenuously the ship though it is. He is choosing chaos over governing.
