Unless you want the political fodder to say the other party is also willing to shut the government down. If you don't care about shutting everything down you can put horrible things in a must pass bill.
- dragonwriter 11y agoIf you don't care about shutting everything down, there is no such thing as a "must-pass" bill; at least, the fact that not passing a bill would lead to a shutdown doesn't make it must-pass if you don't care about shutting everything down. But I think you are agreeing with what I said, that its more attractive to attach riders to something you think your counterparty sees as "must pass", but you do not.
