Opinion War Room Government Shutdown over/under predictions

@cottagecheesefan

One of the Democrat goals is to strangle federal law enforcement with the shutdown.

Maybe Trump will use the tariff money to keep the payroll going.

Not federal law enforcement I guess, but the national guard. I am sure other assets as well would be strategically allocated funding if this were the case

This ridiculous crap has to end. American taxpayers' money should benefit Americans. People can create all the private charities they want, now, excuse me while I send in money so an old Jewish lady in Ukraine can eat.

What's even worse is that only 1% of the money goes to the program. The rest is laundered back to other nefarious entities.

When EBT runs out in two weeks all hell will break lose with cities burning. That's if the government remains shutdown that long.

Republicans did that exact thing in 2013 except with the ACA. They just realllly don’t like providing healthcare for Americans, it seems.

Eh they failed miserably on healthcare , turns out it’s very complex. But this holdout is stupid and hurting their image more than the GOP. They have legitimate complaints and can press the issue but this is the wrong timing.

While I'm glad I'll be getting payed tomorrow, I'd much rather congress stop acting like stubborn children and find a middle ground so that civilian employees can get back to work as well. I'm covering down on 5 people's jobs that are not remotely under my umbrella at the moment and I know others have it worse. This shit is not sustainable

I feel that, I’m still getting paid because I’m essential personal, but some others aren’t and it’s shitty. Ya they get back pay but bills have so much late fees and credit reports are effected and if it last a long time , evictions ..

These guys need to be put in a room together and not come out until they come to an agreement. And they shouldn't be getting paid during that time, Trump included

All members of Congress should have their salaries and benefits cut for every day the government is closed.

And they should not get any back pay when it opens back up.

I heard something the other day that makes sense. They could pass something that automatically funds the government but neither side wants to because they use it as leverage over the other side.

October 17th. I think the first round of missed paychecks for Federal employees and the military will cause one side to blink

Well looks like I am going to be wrong. They ended up paying the military so that pressure to reach an agreement is off for now. I think once they start missing paychecks for the military or it gets to be too many for no furloughed workers, the pressure will be to much and they’ll reach a deal

 

[Blayt7hh]

They are in fact destroying the constitution though, whether they realize it or not.

 

[N13]

I'll vote for Fetterman. A moderate Democrat is a rare find these days.

Correct, most countries don't regularly vote on whether to keep funding or not.
