Corrupt politicians and dishonest leftists just kicked the can down the road. The leftists were desperately hoping to spin this for political purposes. Like they did with COVID. The shutdown of the government is not the end of times. All the critical functions remain open. Many government agencies even continue to operate as usual because they have funds to remain open. The net impact is almost zero in the short term. The problem here is a persistent failure to address out of control spending. The Dems just kick the can down the road every time this issue comes around and then blame the Republicans for saying enough is enough. The Republicans don't have enough votes to implement the cuts that are necessary.
The leftists were desperately hoping to spin this for political purposes.There wasn't any spin necessary. The utter imcompetence of McCarthy and the GOP to get anything done except create chaos speaks for itself.
The shutdown of the government is not the end of times. True.. it's just massive numbers of people are left without wages and/or social benefits..... So, who cares, right?
The net impact is almost zero in the short term.Yeah right. You truly live in another universum than the rest of us. If you don't get your paycheck at the end of the month, because of a shutdown, the impact is pretty real "in the short term", don't you think?
The problem here is a persistent failure to address out of control spending. After Trump's massive $2 Billion tax cut for the most wealthy, you mean? Nobody cared about the deficit back then....
The Republicans don't have enough votes to implement the cuts that are necessary. And that's bad thing? The Republicans have a completely idiotic definition of what necessary cuts are.
