Tick Tok MFers!
There has been some negotiations between the two parties on saving the nation from a governmental shutdown and as the deadline draws near it is not looking too promising for a deal.
Democratic congressional leaders left the White House on Monday without a deal to avert a government shutdown, which otherwise would take effect at 12:01am Wednesday. Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer said “large differences” remain between the parties on health care funding, the New York Times reports, and Vice President JD Vance said, “I think we’re headed into a shutdown because the Democrats won’t do the right thing.” The Democrats said the private meeting, which included President Trump, was candid but didn’t make any progress toward a breakthrough.
One door was left slightly open, per Politico. Trump administration officials seemed amenable to bipartisan talks on extending health insurance subsidies that are about to expire, which Democrats want to avoid. “Let’s work on it together,” Vance said. But the GOP side said the negotiations could only take place if government remains open. “We’re seeing people not being able to get the health care they need, and the American people are crying out for some help,” Schumer said. Republicans have not made any concessions on the issue, per the Times. The White House Office of Management and Budget has advised federal agencies to prepare for potential workforce reductions if the shutdown occurs.
Let’s say the shutdown happens….who will be the winner?
This silly game does nothing for this country other than a diversion from the manure spread by both parties on a wide array of subjects.
They have until 12:01 am tomorrow to come up with a solution….who knows they may just do it for it seems they relish the idea of a last minute deal because it plays so well in the media.
This dance has become pathetic, disgusting and unnecessary….there are more important issues that deserve this much attention…..but when you have spineless political hacks in Congress this saga is the best we can expect.
What will the news be tomorrow when we all arise for our morning cup?
