What’s wrong with them?
It seems Washington DC has gone bonkers! The Republicans wanted to get a clean continuing resolution passed so that they could work on getting a new budget in place. This is not something new in Washington DC politics. During Biden’s time in office, clean continuing resolutions were passed as a matter of fact. It takes 60 yes votes in the Senate in order to pass a resolution. The Republicans have 53 votes. They need 7 Democrats in order to get a resolution passed. Chuck Schumer, the Democrat senate minority leader, told his party members to vote no. So for almost a month now, the government has been shut down and despite numerous votes, the Democrats refuse to allow the government to reopen. But as we are rapidly coming up a month of closure, American people are starting to feel the pain.
Government workers and the military face not getting paid. These government employees are just like all the rest of our society and most live paycheck to paycheck. By not getting paid, they are facing their bills not paying paid. So the Republicans proposed a bill that would allow the military to be paid. The Democrats refuse to pass it. They state they needed the leverage and cared less about what happens to the military personnel. So President Trump had the Department of Defense move funds around in order to get them paid, but there are limited funds in which to keep paying the military with, so in the near future they might have to go without. Now that is almost a crime that the Democrat party would not support the very people who put their lives on the line in order to keep us safe.
Other government workers, like air traffic controllers, are in the same financial pinch as the military. They are being asked to keep showing up for work and not get paid. What makes this so very wrong is that if the continuing resolution was passed, it would only keep the government operating for 7 weeks. But during those 7 weeks, both parties could discuss their issues that they want addressed. But the Democrats feel that by holding a gun to the head of Congress, they can dictate what they want done. Now SNAP food benefits are not going to be paid out to the people who need it most. Again, the radical cultist Democrats, refuse to vote for the resolution and choose to on purpose, allow the neediest of our society to go with food. The Democrats really don’t care about the people. They are only focused on power and they don’t care who gets hurt.
Now you might say that Washington DC has always been crazy, but the scenario that is being played out in Washington DC is also happening in the state of Pennsylvania. It has been one hundred and thirty one days the state has been without a budget. Without a budget, schools don’t get their state funding, charitable organizations, food banks, parks and many other state funded entities are being forced to shut down. The Democrats want to spend money that the state doesn’t have and the Republicans want them to live within expected revenues. What’s so crazy about that? And just like in Washington DC, there is a power struggle. Josh Shapiro is the Democrat governor of the state and he has ambitions of maybe running for President in 2028. He must feel that the only way he can win is by buying votes.
\In both Washington DC and in Pennsylvania the real issue is power. Democrats want to show their radical far left communist members that they are willing to tear down this country in their attempts to either block President Trump and the Republicans from working for the good of the American people or bring this country to its knees. America has never faced a political threat as large as what the Democrats are attempt to place on the people. It would seem that if they continue to act in the manner that they are currently pursuing, they just might just put themselves out of existence.
