(MEDIAITE) — A number of House Republicans blasted Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Tuesday over his handling of the looming possibility of a government shutdown.

According to his critics, Johnson’s attempts at averting a shutdown before Friday’s deadline amount to a “dumpster fire,” “blank check,” and “pet project filled disaster.”

Asked about the text of Johnson’s proposal, Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) said “It’s a total dumpster fire. I think it’s garbage. This is what Washington, D.C. has done. This is why I ran for Congress to try to stop this, and sadly, this is happening again. I think that it’s shameful that people that celebrate DOGE coming in. I can’t-, and yet we’re going to vote for another billion dollars to be added to the deficit? And so it’s ironic.”

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
