| We have had so many Government Shutdowns in the last decade, that Congress must come to the Realization that America is broke. |
WHAT a terrible 😞 Mix . A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN and impending WARS ( Israel, Iran , Ukraine, Russia, Venezuela, and Taiwan) hold the seat of your PANTS 🩳. Regardless of how it ends, Schumer's leadership ability during this budget negotiation has been awful and Democrats need to change Senate minority leadership.🔥🔥🔥The U.S. government is heading toward shutdown — but this isn’t chaos, it’s sabotage. They're gonna shut down the government while also going to war with Iran at the same time. MIGAkeks, prepare for your ultimate fell for it again award. While the globalists bleed the system dry, Trump stands alone, blocking the blackmail and defending real Americans. let me help you.... Every government shutdown is engineered. Both parties are guilty. Republicans borrow recklessly and pretend tariffs or efficiency "savings" will square the books. Democrats demand still more entitlements, paid for with money we don't have. They use brinkmanship as a distraction, turning the most basic government housekeeping into hostage drama. They know what they have to do. they are just refusing to do it and hold everyone hostage in the process... this should be treason. It really is too early. People are unlikely to remember this in a year in the run up to the midterms. It is almost worth pushing this can to right after summer next year for it be the most impactful. Just before this whole fiasco started, it appeared as though he was about to back down on the wall, at which point an immediate and severe backlash from his group of supporters ensued. Almost immediately DJT decided it was time to fight for the bitter end for his wall, instead of backing down as he seemingly had been preparing to do. But in reality, shutdowns are just noisy political theater. Every dollar we borrow today piles new burdens onto tomorrow’s taxpayers and inches us closer to a full-blown fiscal crisis. The shutdown fight may grab media attention, but the real crisis is what’s happening when government is open for business.They rarely cut government spending, they don’t rein in the debt, and they don’t force lawmakers to make the tough choices our nation desperately needs.
War AS A GOOD DISTRACTION during A Government Shutdown.
The federal government just accumulated an additional $2 trillion in debt over the last 12 months. That's the kind of debt surge America usually racks up in wartime or during major national emergencies. For most of the world, a government shutdown is very bad news - the result of revolution, invasion or disaster. But in the US, it has become a kind of bargaining tool for political leaders - and a perennial phenomenon. For several decades, the federal budget process has become increasingly dysfunctional. This breakdown may be traced to the post-Watergate budget reforms enacted in 1974, which shifted power away from the President and to the Congress. Most budget experts from both parties agree that the reforms made the budget process weaker, less predictable, less capable of reconciling competing demands, and more prone to fiscal crises. Prior to 1974, the federal government had never ceased operations for lack of funding. Since then, it has “shut down” 22 times, completely or partially. There have been only four years in which Congress passed its annual appropriations bills on time, and a series of near-defaults and other fiscal crises. In the absence of reliable budgets, Congress has enacted hundreds of short-term stopgap “continuing resolutions” to pay the bills. In this context, it was convenient for all the stakeholders to fund the wars as an "emergency” outside the regular process. The Trump administration sent $230 million to Lebanon in a last-minute action to save the funds from expiring during a government shutdown, assistance that helps protect a fragile ceasefire between Beirut and Israel. The Pentagon has decided to EXEMPT Ukraine operations from a potential government shutdown if lawmakers fail to reach a deal by the end of the month. This means tens of billions will continue flowing into Ukraine regardless. Why is that even legal? One party chose to waste weeks of time that could’ve been used to negotiate by sending Congress into an early recess to avoid an embarrassing vote. Said party also told its members to avoid all negotiating with the other until about 2 days ago. I think that party has more blame than anything. The Republicans refusal to do anything with Democrats is the main cause of this. Yes the Democrats aren't signing off on the Republican bill which is "blocking" it from passing but when the Republicans cancel their meeting with Dems and literally say fuck them and won't compromise on anything why would Dems just sign off on what Republicans propose? Republicans ram through anything that they can and they just can't on this one thing. This is just theater. I’ve been following Middle East politics since I was a kid. I have lifelong friends from Lebanon and Iran. My views are unapologetically anti-capitalist and anti-oppression. I don’t back any state, but I care deeply about people, culture, and working-class struggles. So here’s the blunt version: You’re being bombarded with misinformed, misleading, or outright manipulative coverage. The chance of accurate information reaching anyone outside already-locked-in circles is near zero. Right now, the sudden escalation around Iran is a classic Israeli distraction. The goal is to derail Western focus from the starvation campaign in Gaza and protect the ongoing U.S. arms pipeline. sam-squared The sad truth is the US government will continue to do nothing to aid those suffering in Gaza, no matter how strong the public pressure. The current administration is too cocky and incompetent to do anything based on public opinion. On top of this, taking European hostages isn’t a great look for Israel, but for the most part, they’ve highly publicized how quickly and humanely they’ve returned said prisoners i.e., Greta Thunberg. And you can bet your bottom dollar that Israelis themselves have NO problem with this on the whole. Given that, I can see a world where maybe a public opinion shift factors into the the reason they bombed Iran last night…. but there is just no evidence right now to support it being the MAIN reason when we have much stronger evidence pointing in other directions. Namely that the US was positioned to sign a nuclear deal with Iran. That Iran was close to completing their nuclear weapon. That Netanyahu has absolutely gotten a big head over how the Gaza genocide has been going and has aims beyond the borders of Israel. Israel arrests, processes and releases westerners in situations like this, just like most countries do. Yes, things can get dangerous. Escalation is always a risk. But the timing of this isn’t about danger. The Iran nuclear issue is real, but there's nothing new that justifies this sudden flare-up. It's manufactured urgency. RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN WAR ✖️ .The next 20 year war based on lies is around the corner. By the time anyone realizes what's really going on they'll be asking "didn't we hear the same quagmires during Vietnam and GWOT?" There were 3 government shutdowns during his last term. Are we supposed to be in 1 60 year war right now or 3 20 year wars based on this information. Meanwhile: War Minister Hegseth, the USA is fighting the last battle. Tonight the shutdown begins because salaries can no longer be paid and, like every declining empire, war is supposed to be the last resort.
