Senator Warner's Stop STUPIDITY (Shutdowns Transferring Unnecessary Pain and Inflicting Damage In The Coming Years) Act would fund the government except for the legislative branch and the Executive Office of the President

 

WASHINGTON — Virginia's U.S. Senator Mark Warner has introduced legislation Tuesday that would end future government shutdowns.

The bill would also protect federal workers from being used during policy negotiations. The legislation is called Stop STUPIDITY (Shutdowns Transferring Unnecessary Pain and Inflicting Damage In The Coming Years) Act.

“The Stop STUPIDITY Act takes the aggressive but necessary step of forcing the President and Congress to do the jobs they were elected to do,†said Sen. Warner. “It is disturbing that the daily lives of hundreds of thousands of workers are at the mercy of dysfunction in Washington. Workers, business owners and tax payers are currently paying the price of D.C. gridlock and my legislation will put an end to that.â€

The Act would keep the government running in the case of a lapse in funding by automatically renewing government funding at the same levels as the previous year.

The Act would fund every area of the government except for the legislative branch and the Executive Office of the President. This will force Congress and the White House to come to the negotiating table without putting at risk the economy or hurting the American public.

While we do need accountability, this is far from the greatest idea.

 

Also, this guy needs to work on his backronym game. STUPIDITCY? Meh.
