Democrats have only hardened their position as the government shutdown enters its 23rd day, leaving Republican majorities in Congress with few answers — and many criticisms.
For the 12th time, Senate Democrats blocked the Republican Party’s government funding legislation this week without a single senator switching his or her vote.
Just three Democratic caucus members voted for the bill: John Fetterman, D-Pa.; Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev.; and Angus King, I-Maine. That means Republicans are still five votes short of the 60-vote threshold to ensure passage of the bill, just as they have been since before the government shut down 23 days ago.
Democratic voters had pressured their party to take a more confrontational posture toward Trump in the shutdown battle. The new stance may be paying off with the party’s base.
this maybe the best way to reduce our government’s size…
Let’s start with the most worthless, lying, thieving, and corrupt heads of state in the history of the USA.
I would have started with the people pulling the levers instead of starving out the essential gears that keep a government running.
What’s the right size for a government? And not just any government — the federal government for the richest country in the world?
Do people think at all before speaking?
