Will we have a Govt Shutdown on 1 Oct?

[bendog]

Apparently you're too stupid to figure it out.

Aren't you referring to Debbie?

Joe is using EO's to dole out money from the taxpayers. He is not powerless now. And progs use any reduction in planned increases of programs dear to their hearts as a weapon against Republicans. Just one agenda is we all know something must be done about Social Security and Progs have weaponized it for their advantage.

Sure and this relates to my post - how?

Neither has McConnell, has he? Not arguing with you. Shutting down the govt is an adolescent gop trick

Ted Cruz forced it one year

Republicans are clearly determined to do so.

Little Chuckie Schumer? Is that you?

And the Democrat's fearmongering over the government shutdown is a Stalinist trick to blame the GOP. We go through this every year: The same bullshit from the Democrats claiming how Republicans want to "shut down muh gummint", even though they're primarily the ones responsible for the biggest spending.

Dude, they had all govt for two years, and blew up the deficits with tax cuts and new spending that was not paid for.

You're obviously not even looking at the figures. During the second year of Trump's presidency, he actually ran a lower deficit than the first term of Obama. It wasn't until the pandemic hit that he ran up a large debt, which was pretty much a necessity for an event like that.

But if you don't like the COVID stimulus checks you got in the mail, you're free to mail them back to the Treasury Department. Not to mention all those business that didn't go away, thanks to PPP and other forms of rescue funding Trump passed.

Did you actually say that?

Can you Cherry Pick any more?

Obama took over in the largest recession in 80 years
Trump took over the strong Obama economy that had been rising for seven years

Why would Trump run a deficit at all?

 

[toobfreak]

What say you all...

The government never shuts down. Even when it does, they only close about 11% to 17%, the part which most hurts the poor and the innocent by starving people of essential services, just so then they can say: "Look what the Republicans are doing to you!"

The one that he helped put into place voting on it as a senator in 2006 then presided over the slowest recovery ever.

Actually, he's full of shit. Deficts declined in Six of Obama's final SEVEN years. They increased in EACH of Trump's FOUR years.

Inequalities Persist Despite Decline in Poverty For All Major Race and Hispanic Origin Groups

Black and Hispanic poverty rates reached historic lows of 18.8% and 15.7% respectively in 2019 but inequalities persist.

Only because Obumma starved vital programs to push his agenda elsewhere for democrats so that when Trump came in, he needed to spend tons of money to get things back on its feet like our military which is still starved for money with many planes and things inoperable for lack of parts to fix them.

The far right Repubs are the one that came up with the CR that may not even pass the House and will never pass the Senate.

If the Senate votes down the CR... You'll agree that Democrats chose shut down the government... Correct?

So I offer you one dollar for your house, knowing you would be a fool to take it, and it's your fault for not closing the sale?

If Republicans submit a CR with poison pills they know will fail, they are not fooling anyone

 

[Papageorgio]

Because Congressional Republicans are more interested in impeaching the President rather than taking care of their constituents.

Like Democrats were last term, two parties no difference.

It's already been posponed until Halloween.

Sure, if you will agree the Big 3 automakers caused the strike refusing the UAW demands.
