US Government

Will the Republicans cave all or in part to the big spending demands of the left? Or will Schumer instruct his minions to vote for the continuing resolution as the House passed it?

And if it does shut down, will many of the furloughs be permanent?

The spending has to be controlled. We can't continue to borrow money just so we can give it away.

@nudistsueaz I had a poll attached, but it wasn’t included. 🤔

@carpediem That would be a good poll to see...
carpediem · 61-69, M
@nudistsueaz So strange. It was a simple yes or no poll. This place is getting stranger every day.

If I remember correctly Kamalas whole campaign was built on everything being Trumps fault.
He hadn't even been in office for the last four years.

@Adrift Yes, that's what I remember.
You mean will the Republicans cave to demands to extend tax credits that make health insurance cheaper for millions of Americans (which are set to expire), and for a reversal of cuts to Medicaid that have been made by Trump?

Seems reasonable to me.

@Patriot96 The guy is twisted
@carpediem You know I'm right; you have no evidence to prove otherwise :) If that's twisted, so be it😁

@carpediem He's is also uninformed 🙄

Take it from someone who use to live the the DC suburbs. No layoffs will be permanent and once the shutdown is over all government employees will get all back pay. So a shutdown is nothing more than a paid holiday for government employees. Now government contractors are a whole different story. They definitely do not get back pay.

I don't believe they will. Trump is very firm on what he needs the House to do...the Republican house.
carpediem · 61-69, M
@4meAndyou I agree, but we're talking about the Senate here. I believe the Republicans are together, but we need some democrat votes. Unfortunately, democrats are like lemmings. They follow their leaders right off the cliff.

Maybe congress paychecks/benefits should be suspended during any shut down never to be paid out under any circumstances

Schumer, as usual, will fold. Jeffries will make a speech and fold also.

@carpediem it’s probably a done deal , they’re secretly haggling over the furloughed workers most likely
carpediem · 61-69, M
@AthrillatheHunt Maybe. For the first time in as long as I can recall, this will be blamed on democrats if it shuts down. Trump is playing this well.
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@carpediem he had 4 years to plot (2020-2024). Just like LeBron has seen every defense in the NBA, Orange knows the Dems playbook
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
I predict an emergency measure to kick the can down the road ….again
carpediem · 61-69, M
@AthrillatheHunt That’s basically what this vote is about.
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@carpediem they love cliffhangers almost as much as they love kicking the can down the road
