The Schumer shutdown is without doubt one of the dumbest issues I’ve ever seen. Even by Washington requirements, this was so silly. Even by Schumerian requirements, which is a really low bar, this shutdown was totally silly. Hundreds of thousands of Individuals had been extremely aggravated. It completed completely nothing. With a number of bells and whistles, the unique Speaker Mike Johnson Home CR invoice is the one which’s gonna move.
The Democrats didn’t get the $1.5 trillion spending add-on they needed. They didn’t get well being spending for unlawful immigrants. They didn’t undo the able-bodied Medicaid necessities. They didn’t undo the Trumpian one, massive, lovely invoice. So far as I can inform, they didn’t get something. In accordance with studies, they did get a promise from Majority Chief Thune that they may get a vote on a invoice of their selection. That might imply an Obamacare spending invoice. Perhaps it may imply a vote on another topic. Maybe Democrats would love a vote on a 3rd time period for President Trump. Appears like a good suggestion to me. But it surely’s as much as them.
Home Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., explains what comes subsequent after the federal government shutdown and blames Democrats for taking 40 days to comply with a brand new persevering with decision on ‘Kudlow.’
Now, the individuals who suffered by means of this Schumerian disaster, had been all furloughed federal employees, who needed to go with out pay. Navy folks in harms approach. Delays for meals stamps and WIC (girls, infants, and youngsters). An entire mess with air site visitors controllers illegally strolling off the job in protest of their missed funds. The cancellation of a quadrillion flights all throughout the nation that infuriated extraordinary people. By the way in which, the President has threatened to positive the air controllers who walked off the job. I bear in mind Ronald Reagan firing the whole thing of them after they illegally went on strike again within the 80s.
Mr. Trump is providing a $10,000 bonus to those that stayed on the job. That feels like a good suggestion. However principally, thousands and thousands of extremely agitated Individuals are gonna ask themselves why undergo with this totally silly train that precipitated a lot heartburn.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., addresses President Donald Trump’s requires Republicans to finish the filibuster and extra on ‘Kudlow.’
Happily, President Trump and the Republican majorities within the Home and Senate,refuse to collapse to Schumeresque blackmail to attempt to maintain spending all that cash on Obamacare, and healthcare generally with none critical debate.
And one thought I actually like from President Trump, is to let healthcare spending go on to people, maybe by means of their well being financial savings accounts, however not by means of the medical insurance trade and the failed system with runaway prices that trade has engendered.
