[Anonymous]

Start the clock. As of today, what are the chances that we see a shutdown? 30%? 100%? Zero chance?

The dems won't help and the GOP can't govern.

Feds better hope that they pay retroactively.

I think that’s mandatory, but even if not, actually Feds typically have a lot of unused leave.

Not that that is how they want to use it! You can't plan anything with the uncertain timing and it's problematic to have no income for an uncertain length of time, even if you get paid back laer.

So the Democrat plan is to "own" MAGA by refusing to help and hurt the country?

Things used to be mandatory. Now, everything seems subject to the whim of the Trump Auto-Sharpie.

Of course, but at least there is that. Other businesses that reply on the federal workforce in one way or another will be totally hosed. Just more and more bad Trump economy news.

Hardly. This is a GOP show. The GOP passed the OBBB all by itself. The GOP stood mutely by while Trump usurped congressional constitutional powers. The GOP confirmed a cabinet of incompetents.

The GOP owns it all.

No, the Dems *shouldn't* help because the GOP no longer ever compromises. The Dems shouldn't support the swill the GOP wants to pass (think BUB), so if the GOP won't propose better legislation, then, no, the Dems won't help.

The administration wants a shutdown. Russ Voight has already claimed that OMB can do a number of nefarious things with the government on shutdown including cutting programs they don’t like. Dems need to find some GOP willing to break ranks and pass a CR. Otherwise we’ll have a whole host of other problems

Yes. It will hurt them more than us. Drey (Dem Iowa) special election win broke the GOP supermajority. Incoming drip wins by Dems.

Why is it always the democrats fault when the government closes under the GOP (which every closure has been?)

No, sorry, the GOP controls the white house and both houses of the congress, they can figure it out.
