The left will be crushed if this shutdown goes on for a prolonged period and most of America decides it doesn't really matter. So a bunch of non essential federal workers miss a few paychecks? Who cares?
The lefts use of manufactured hysteria to bully the electorate into unwise policy decisions is pretty much over with. Even the main stream media isn't really buying this as anything other than a desperate move by a very weak and rudderless democrat party. |
I know I am so excited about the wall. I want to volunteer to go help build it. Have you heard anything about that? I mean I’m assuming they’ll need some volunteers to reduce costs since Dems are being stingy. |
Definitely! I don’t really get why they want to shut down the govt for a bunch of illegals. Fools! Lol |
Stop the white nationalists from taking over the R party, so says a just former R. http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/697721.page And you know that Trump's resorts DON'T hire Americans first, right? |
You know that there were five Rs who voted against the budget, right? |
No, no medal needed. Just refuting PPs silly claim that I am elitist puppet sitting pretty in my mansion. |
| I’m a liberal and want help for the dreamers but don’t think this shut down is worth it. You shouldn’t shut down the government to support people that are not voting constituents. At best it will do nothing because they can’t vote and it has the potential to cost you the next election. |
I kind of agree, but am tired of the he Dems being the only ones who have to give in while the are dig in and refuse to budge. Do you think the Dems should give in on CHIP too? |
Mr Z - you should channel your anger and support your fellow workers sign up here - https://www.numbersusa.com/news/sens-cotton-grassley-and-perdue-oppose-gang-6-proposal because I agree with you. No H2B workers eithers. |
No, I think CHIP is important. Also, I believe that the Democrats should get SOMETHING for their votes and CHIP would be fine with me. |
The budget fully funds CHIP for 6 years. Am I wrong about that? |
Probably the families of the 5 out 6 federal employees who works outside of WDC. And the local businesses they patronize that will be hurt when they scrimp on spending. President "Deal-Maker" had a deal on Friday with Schumer, who gave in for something Democrats don't want (the US paying for a border wall) for something Republicans DO want (to fund CHIP). But then Cadet Bone Spurs changed his mind like he always does after talking to the last person in the room. Trump said he would sign whatever bill Congress sent him. Well, there is a bill that would pass that he could sign, and that is the Graham-Durbin bill. Why won't McConnell send it through? WHY? |
The vote isn't over the budget. McConnell is 5 months behind on a budget. |
I meant the CR. The CR that they voted on funds CHIP for 6 years. |
Really? Prove it. |
