Republicans say a Democratic House means impeachment on day one. Democrats say a Republican Congress means more of the same. The president says you get $5,000. Three weeks before the vote, who is promising what, and what does the record really show?

On this episode of The Dupree Report, Wayne checks each claim against the evidence. According to the Associated Press, the $5,000 “Trump dividend” would likely cost more than $1 trillion and needs approval from Congress. According to Reuters, House Democrats are planning investigations first, with impeachment an option and not the opening move. According to Courthouse News Service, this Republican-controlled Congress has already had the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, at 43 days.

Wayne looks at the strongest case that a divided Congress means gridlock, and the strongest case against it. According to Wikipedia’s list of acts, the 116th Congress, split between the parties, still enacted 344 laws, including the CARES Act. He explains what impeachment, a subpoena and a stopgap bill really mean. He also shows why the date that hits your life is December 11, when government funding runs out, according to Holland & Knight. He holds both parties to the same ruler.

A promise is not a plan. Know the difference.
