Nation Erupts In Celebration As Government Finally Shuts Down​

U.S.·Oct 1, 2025 · BabylonBee.com

U.S. — Celebrations have erupted all across America today as the federal government has actually shut down.

Tears poured forth from overjoyed citizens as the government finally closed its doors after years of devastating close calls.

"I thought I would never see this day," said local man Chris Henning. "We've come so close so many times, I started to think it might never happen. To be able to look my kids in the eye and say 'Yes, sweetheart, the federal government has really shut down' -- it's an incredible feeling. What a beautiful moment."

Fireworks could be seen dotting the skies as exuberant revelers took to the streets. "This could be the thing that finally brings the country back together," said local woman Denise Perkins. "There's not much we agree on anymore, but we can all rejoice together knowing the federal government is no longer functioning. It's healing."

At publishing time, the nation had become anxious as Congress threatened to reopen the government.

She is similar to Biden, her age has killed 1/2 her brain cells.
"I won't give you a gotcha by saying we want health care for illegal immigrants! We want healthcare for everyone!".......... which includes illegal immigrants for the dumbasses that can't figure that one out.

The government is never free.

It only gets even more expensive in perpetuity when it temporarily shuts down.

We'll see, Trump is maintaining that many of the people will be let go, not suspended and no back pay. The Democrats 100% gave him that power with a shutdown. That is the deal, if Congress can't pass a budget - the executive branch gains the power to allocate and cut.

Your dumb ass has been lied to, AGAIN.
By natural born liars.
This one is even dumber than his daddy.

You have rights in an emergency room under EMTALA​

Jun 12, 2025 — This law helps prevent any hospital emergency department that receives Medicare funds (which includes most US hospitals) from refusing to treat patients.

In 1986, Congress enacted the Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act (EMTALA) to ensure public access to emergency services regardless of ability to pay.


That was Reagan who signed that into law.

HAHAHA

The Democrats want only TWO things in order to compromise on the government shutdown:

1) Reverse Medicaid Cuts
2) Extend Expiring Obama cuts

So, Health Insurance Premiums do not go up for millions

My gosh, the Democrats are bastards! How could they want such a selfish thing, right?

Lie, lie and more lie.
Those two things comprise of 100s of variables, almost none of which any Republicans want.
This is what both sides do - tell the sheeple among them that it is "just this and the evil bastards won't do it"
Don't be such a sheep.

Prove your statement!

You can't, because what I said is true!

For Democrats, this is about taking a stand around the fact that health care is a core Democratic issue and an issue that they’re going to fight for.
