Government shutdown update: Trump, Democrats emerge from meeting without a deal
If funding expires at midnight on Sept. 30 a shutdown will start at 12:01 a.m. on Oct. 1.
For weeks, Democrats have been urging Republicans to address a list of very reasonable requests primarily related to health care in exchange for their votes to keep the government open.
The Democratic Party has united around demands to reverse recent Medicaid cuts and extend enhanced health insurance subsidies in the Affordable Care Act that are set to expire at the end of the year.
"We laid out to the president some of the consequences of what is happening in health care," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said after the meeting. "By the way he looked, I think he heard about them for the first time."
Once again the MAGA’s are screwing a disproportionate number of their own constituents particularly in deep Red states—most of whom are not even aware of what the Republicans have hidden in their legislation.
