With the government officially shut down, let’s be clear about one thing:

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This is THEIR shutdown.

They have every tool to govern. Instead, they chose chaos. And now the American people are the ones paying the price.

Thousands of workers are going without pay. Families are seeing their benefits delayed. Small businesses cannot access the loans they depend on.

Republicans not showing up for work don't get paid damn it .............

Looks like the OP is feeling the effects of vile dem folly.

Good!

Trump knew he didnt have the votes to gut healthcare for Americans but did it anyway. He can figure out the road from here. Democrats don’t have to do anything.

Bank loans generally have lower interest rates and can be gotten faster than SBA loans unless you are a high risk borrower. Just saying...

Cool. Then you got to wonder why small business failures which were at historical lows spiked up about 20% this year so far under new management? Hmm. Almost like Trump’s policies suck for small business.

Sounds serious!
How many votes did their continuing resolution get in the senate?

Except for the fact that it’s the Schumer shutdown.

I mean other than that, your post would still be just a fart in a hurricane.

It takes 60 votes in the senate and there are only 53 repubs

Nice spin BUT

1. Republicans don't have 60 votes in the Senate, which is why democrats shut down the government.

2. The house voted to keep the government open. It was democrats in the Senate who refused to keep the government open.

The House passed a clean bill, Senate Republicans support that bill, and Trump has no part to play until a bill hits his desk. This is Schmuck Schumer's shutdown. Own it.

Trump knew he didn't have the votes to gut healthcare for Americans but did it anyway. He can figure out the road from here. Democrats don’t have to do anything.

1. Trump didn't gut the ACA subsidies, the democrats wrote the Covid subsidy to expire this month, automatically.
2. True, democrats don't have to do anything, Republicans will never give in to extortion of $15T. Thune will e forced to go nuclear for the CR, Appropriations, and Rescissions.
3. Democrats can negotiate a reduced subsidy, or just take what Republicans give if anything. Remember, the Obamacare premiums are just going back to normal after the Covid subsidy expires.

As long as Republicans insist on slashing Americans' healthcare coverage under Medicaid and the ACA, no progress will be made.

So, none of you will cry foul if the GOP changes the rules to allow the CR to pass with a simple majority?
