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.

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

ā€˜Learn to codeā€™ 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 ā€¦ 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 ā€œillegals get free medicalā€?
There is a difference between ā€œAccessā€ and ā€œFreeā€:

PS> I was of the impression that ā€œFree Healthcareā€ is only offered to Veterans and Politicians in the US. (Medicaid and Obama care are insurance schemes)

Do they ā€œvote for a govā€ 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 ā€œthrown to the dogsā€, are NOT elected.
Many are career civil servants that has served both Republican and Democratic administrations for years.

What is being approved? Itā€™s the Dems withholding approval for a continuing supply of funds for the government to operate. They want ridiculous spending added ā€¦ or else.

So they are the ones who will be responsible for all those ā€œhardworking Americansā€ being denied services. Let them stew, I say. FAFO.
