5 Points On Why The GOP Congress Is Careening Toward Another Shutdown
Talking Points Memo is a Left-oriented website, and Sahil Kapur is definitely from the Left, but the five points his lists are based on facts, the current standing of both the HOR and the Senate and also based on solid logic.
Here are the headlines to the five points, and I quote:
"1.) House Republicans are more worried about caving on immigration than a shutdown
2.) Senate Democrats are equally dug in against anything but a "clean" DHS bill
3.) Some Republicans are downplaying the impacts of a DHS shutdown
4.) Republican senators reject House GOP calls to gut the filibuster
5.) Congress is about to recess for a week with no viable plan"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The complete text to all five bullet-points are to be found at the link. Some interesting information there.
IMO, this is all about strategema, with very, very high stakes.
Whichever side blinks loses.
However, if there is a shutdown and somehow, because the DHS is not functioning as it should and a terror-attack happens, then we all lose. It's that simple.
Discuss.
