That’s your answer to the question of whether millions of hard working people who work in the new economy or for themselves and will have to take a pay cut or have substandard health care or no health care at all because the current administration values the 35 billion they will save not providing the extra subsidy while at the same time giving 40 billion over to Argentina.

I thought it was America First but I suppose Trump lied about that like he does every thing else.

What are they crying about?
Only thing I hear them wanting is to help those with healthcare across the board.

I guess you can't hear the maggies because they only want to serve the Big Cheato and he blows his own horn.

It’s Past Time to End This Shutdown
October 27, 2025 By: Everett Kelley, AFGE National President

This week, Congress pushed our nation into the fourth week of a full government shutdown – an avoidable crisis that is harming families, communities, and the very institutions that hold our country together. Both political parties have made their point, and still there is no clear end in sight.

Today I’m making mine: it’s time to pass a clean continuing resolution and end this shutdown today. No half measures, and no gamesmanship. Put every single federal worker back on the job with full back pay — today.

As president of the American Federation of Government Employees, I represent over 800,000 federal and D.C. government workers who serve with pride and professionalism.

They ensure our skies are safe, our veterans receive care, our borders are protected, and our food is inspected. They come from every political background and every corner of this nation. What unites them is a simple belief: that service to country is honorable work.

Today, that belief is being tested. The Army nurse in San Antonio, the TSA officer in Atlanta, the USDA food safety inspector in Iowa, and hundreds of thousands more like them are being asked to keep our country running without the paychecks that keep their own households afloat.

These are patriotic Americans – parents, caregivers, and veterans – forced to work without pay while struggling to cover rent, groceries, gas and medicine because of political disagreements in Washington. That is unacceptable.

Unfortunately, shutdowns have become a recurring tactic in Washington. But there is no “winning” a government shutdown. They cost taxpayers billions, hurt small businesses, and erode confidence in government itself. And the American people know this. That’s why 9 out of 10 Americans think this government shutdown is a problem...

Even if a stop gap budget finally gets passed and the Federal Government reopens, it's only good to keep the Federal government operating for 2 months.


That means in 2 months time, Congress will be back fighting among themselves to pass another 2 month stop gap budget.


Stop doing that and pass a budget for the entire fiscal year beginning October 1st and ending September 30th.

Remember when Schmuck Shumer almost shutdown the government back in March of this year, over the OBBB vote?

From da Wiki:
...Chuck Schumer announced that he would support a continuing resolution to fund the government through September, arguing that Trump's efforts were being halted in the courts—which could be impeded by a shutdown; that a shutdown would give greater authority to the Department of Government Efficiency; and that market uncertainty would mount over a shutdown in addition to imminent widespread tariffs, causing ambiguity over the responsibility of economic fear.[5] Schumer's support incited other Democrats to vote in favor of a temporary continuing resolution proposed by Republicans, allowing the measure to pass and averting a shutdown. Schumer was criticized by several Democrats for his move, including House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries....

So, waz UP-Chuck?

Did you:
- Lose your Fear of DOGE?
- Lose your Lawfare backstop?
- Lose your Fear of economic fear?
- Lose your Fear of the markets collapsing?
- Or are ya Just licking the ball sacks of the radicals in your party because of the "leverage" you have over the starving and impoverished peoples, who just don't matter except to take it up the keester, all for a few more votes from the Socialists in your upcoming Primary?
