THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, AGAIN, HAVE REACHED A VERY FORCED AGREEMENT, TO TEMPORARILY AVOID THEIR NOW FAMOUS GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, AS THEY HAVE PARTIALLY APPROVED A PROVISIONAL FINANCING LAW, TO KEEP THE FEDERAL AGENCIES OPERATING FOR ANOTHER 6 WEEKS. THE MEASURE WAS TAKEN AGAINST THE TIME, AND THIS LAW WILL ALLOW OUR GOVERNMENT TO CONTINUE FUNCTIONING AND FINANCING THE STATE EXPENDITURE OF OUR NATION. OTHERWISE, THOUSANDS OF OFFICIALS, INCLUDING THOUSANDS OF AIR CONTROLLERS, WILL BE FORCED TO BE TECHNICALLY DISMISSED.
As a nation, we are frequently forced and forced to adopt increasingly shorter funding measures, rather than agreeing to an annual budget.
Republicans have taken the Government Shutdown Hostage as an excuse to manipulate their baseless political whims if Democrats do not comply with their demands.
And this last agreement taken on Thursday the 18th, 2024, was the subject of bitter negotiations between the Republicans in Congress, who have the majority in "The lower house" and the Democrats in Congress, who have the majority in "The Senate". Just pay attention to the Republican proposals, and see how they manipulate the Democrats with their demands.
Hostage A person held by someone as collateral to force a third party to comply with certain conditions.
It is also understood as a Hostage, an object that is placed as a Pledge or Guarantee, with the intention of forcing a third party to comply with certain conditions.
The first thing that members of Congress must do, as public servants, is to prioritize and make an agreement on the spending of our nation, to provide work, food and public order activities that benefit our citizens, and then make other agreements that They do not put families in our own nation at risk or danger.
UNFORTUNATELY, IT SEEMS THAT WE HAVE ENEMIES IN CONGRESS AND NOT PUBLIC SERVANTS OF OUR NATION.
THE CONGRESSES ARE POSTED BY THE POPULAR VOTE OF THE CITIZENS, AS IT IS POSSIBLE THAT OUR OWN REPRESENTATIVES ARE AGAINST “WE THE PEOPLE”.
"THE GOVERNMENT CLOSURE" It is a very good excuse for us voters, in the next Elections, to replace the congressmen who like to threaten us with this “Controversial Scandal” that goes against our citizens.
“THE GOVERNMENT CLOSURE” means what a father of a family would do in his own house: Close his house to his wife and his children, leaving them without food supplies on the street.
“THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN” is only supported by unpatriotic, corrupt congressmen who do not love our nation.
OUT THE REPUBLICANS
ITS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY, IT'S ABOUT DESTROYING A NATION. wake up.
The government keeps sending billions to other countries while we need the money here in America.
Again, democrats show republicans how to accomplish something. Put adults in charge in November.
Republicans are complaining that about it and we are not going to be shut down. They are complaining about the money, saying it's going to hurt the American people. If Trump and the Republicans wouldn't have spent all of the money and put us so far in debt we wouldn't be in this debt. But there's solution it's to take away things away from the American that help us to get the money.
Support for Ukraine will force the Russian to turn tail and run.
Then the economy will improve.
The republicans don't want that because it will make everyone happy and that is a bad thing.
Misery is good for the republicans.
CONGRESS is just money LAUNDERING the U.S. Treasury, they say SS is running out of $$ but have NO problem getting $$ for OTHER COUNTRIES
Oh look. Another short-term spending bill… the only bill the GOP can pass. And even then, just a slim majority of Republicans are willing to vote for their OWN bill. Remember the time the government shut down because Trump wanted to build the wall that Mexico was going to pay for? So he wouldn't sign anything and federal workers went 35 days without pay while other services were also shutdown?
Yeah, let's go back to that. I'm sorry, but as much as people complain about Democrats, time and time again, they are the adults in the room that realize what has to be done.
Shut it down
This is joke, right 😂😂😂😂😂
Averting a government shutdown is a nice way of saying we are blowing your money at an insane rate on pork projects and the MIC . We will finish stealing tou blind in a few months . What an incompetant administration. Nine million illegals to add insult to injury.
Was Bobert late again,misses voting for a 3rd time, was she in the back row at the ice skating kids show with her "brother"..? Again..
Shut it down. Show the people that the goverment is wourthless.
Just read that the growth in annual deficit under Trump ranks 3rd biggest increase relative to size of the economy of any administration to the tune of 7.8 trillion despite booming economy, low unemployment before pandemic. Hmm?
Shut the government down they don't deserve no money American people are so sick of your irresponsibility Washington DC is just a swap of losers
Sending more to Ukraine!!
Americans First!
Sick of this Corrupt administration and Government.
We are losing Our homeland Americans.
We was never founded on Democracy. If you hear one say that, they are not for You.
Mike Johnson going to be ousted as Speaker?
Same old lies we have no government only corruption.
US Black Citizens were the only Citizens that were Enslaved in America. They aren't Immigrants or Migrants. They did work but it was Free Labor that built this Country and Black Labor that built this Country. They Didn't come over here in America looking for Something, and to see another Group come over here, it's Disgraceful and UnAmerican 😢
"We Stand With Gov Abbott."
