Massie was right. It's just theater, and the Democrats were never really going to block increased spending, nor will most Republicans ever block increased spending:

It was determined beforehand that Schumer would pretend to object, but then supposedly cave in, just to fool the public into believing that there are two parties when there is really only the Uniparty of Ever-increasing Spending.

Sadly, even Trump seems on board with ever-increasing spending.

The best explanations I have seen I think are on zerohedge or in their tweets that Congress is waiting for a recession b/c cutting even waste/fraud/corruption means less $ in the economy and will trigger a recession... then with the new budget at the end of summer, they have an excuse to open the spending floodgates...

Seemingly, Massie is THE ONLY true patriot concerned about the epidemic spending inflicted to politicians. The insaciable hunger to spend other people's monies is ubiquitous; as is the corruption necessary to satisfy that money flowing,

Massie was also one of very few Congressmen to object to Biden's mRNA death jab mandates.

I would welcome a genuine shutdown of the federal government. It would mean all the American soldiers overseas come home. Senators and Congressmen and their staffs on leave w/o pay. IRS employees all sent home. All CIA and FBI activities stopped in their tracks. Federal government completely out of all levels of education. No more tax money sent to foreign governments. I'd gladly give up my Social Security for that and I'd join the millions who would voluntarily fund the border patrol. They'll still exist. The former soldiers who are now defending us will join the well-funded border patrol.
