Potential Federal Government Shutdown

[Bigfoot]

"Vice President JD Vance joins House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and does not mince words. "I think we are headed into a shutdown because the Democrats won't do the right thing," he says. A partial government shutdown would begin at 11:59:59 p.m. Tuesday if no agreement is reached."

Do it!
It won't change people's opinions. Those who get their "news" from CNN/ABC/etc. are already saying that Trump is going to shut down the government as part of his plan to destroy it and become a dictator. They refuse to admit that it is the Democrats (this time) that are going to end up shutting things down.

The problem is many people think health care and keeping it as is or cheap is worth fighting for. This will keep the republicans cut to that in place. I get both sides but at some point people have to do more for themselves and not less. You can’t simply have your handout to the government day after day and year after year. I get there are circumstances where some of this is unavoidable but most people are just too lazy to work.
I know people who truly need help though and they should be able to get it if that’s the case. I’m not saying the republicans are taking that away but that’s what the democrats are stating they are doing and some believe it.
On track I do hope the government shutdown and I hope it goes on for months. I hope the truth comes out as to why this is important and the democrats come out smelling like the pig crap they are.

The dems want $1.5 trillion restored, to refund illegal alien health care, and give them more rent money.

Shut it down.........................do it.

Yeah shut it down. Enough with the fear mongering crap. Then end CR's. All they are is well timed political footballs. End them. Lock in a budget every year.

Yes, a yearly budget that is BALANCED! CRs do nothing more than kick the can further down the road.
Shutting it down does nothing but give the "non-essentials" more vacation days! Yeah, pay is deferred (delayed), but hey...who doesn't want a few unexpected days off?

Seen it before, several times, doesn't mean Jack Shit, in fact shut the motherfucker down and keep it down for a month or two, work on Congressional replacements while we're at it.

If the president is a Democrat and the government shuts down its always the fault of the Republicans in congress.
If the president is a republican and the government shuts down its always the fault of the president.

That's the way the press frames it, every single time.

This time I am confused. Don't the Republicans control both houses of congress? If they simply voted on a party line there won't be a shutdown. Or am I missing something?
