US gov shutdown

the loonie left holding the country to ransom unless illegals get free medical, car and house?
( and vote?)

$1.5 Trillion extra spending is the demand to agree to keep gov open.
So much for voting for a gov.

Loosen that tinfoil hat a little to increase blood supply. :wink:

How much did the Big, Beautiful Bill add to the deficit again?

no enough according the dems they want more debt.

An excellent opportunity to diligently cull the unproductive drones on federal payrolls.

‘Learn to code’ is, I think, the words of advice for them as they are thrust out into the real world.

DOGE no doubt has a list of candidates.

Perhaps the US congress could learn to actually properly pass an actual budget instead of a continuing resolution temporary band aid … like real nations do.

I doubt this thread will be open long, but the Republicans currently have majority in all 3 branches of government. How exactly is this a Democrat issue?

Did you forget that there are many (present and ex) hardworking Americans of all races that will be without Medicaid, or other healthcare programs if this is approved.

Do “illegals get free medical”?
There is a difference between “Access” and “Free”:

PS> I was of the impression that “Free Healthcare” is only offered to Veterans and Politicians in the US. (Medicaid and Obama care are insurance schemes)

Do they “vote for a gov” in USA, or for a President and members of the Senate and Congress?

The cabinet members are appointed by the President and approved by the Senate, not elected.

The people working for the Federal Government, and are in danger of being “thrown to the dogs”, are NOT elected.
Many are career civil servants that has served both Republican and Democratic administrations for years.

What is being approved? It’s the Dems withholding approval for a continuing supply of funds for the government to operate. They want ridiculous spending added … or else.

So they are the ones who will be responsible for all those “hardworking Americans” being denied services. Let them stew, I say. FAFO.

How dare you drag simple math into the issue!!

It must be my woke education. I also love how congress still gets paid during a shutdown.
