Countdown to a government shutdown begins with deadline one week away
#GovernmentShutdown #Politics #Congress
shut it down this administration is worthless
I love the record inflation thanks Biden
In the last 100 years, inflation under Biden is 53rd by year. Hardly a record. 29% inflation is the all time record in the late 1700s. Now you know. No charge for the education.
You do realize Inflation is a global issue not just the US right? The only countries that don’t have inflation are countries like china where literally they are in economic turmoil
Someone didn’t take macroeconomics lol
These brainless idiots will whine about Biden spending causing inflation and ignore the trillions Trump directly added to the deficit during his term. It’s all partisanship, no real belief. These guys will argue for more tax cuts despite our need to pay off our deficit.
Thanks for doing absolutely nothing to help the country useless Republicans
Is that a threat‽
It’s reality
@Robert Marley guess who you can thank for that.
So far, these House Republicans and new leader have managed to pass.., nothing. Zero. Nada. A record I suspect they’ll keep for awhile. Military families better file for food stamps now.
You know you need more than 1 branch of legislation to pass anything 😂
Yes, but if the House passes bills they know will not get support in the Senate or be signed by the President, it is the House’s failure.
@Bso why do they keep voting on bills they know will never pass?
They have enough money for illegals but not Americans, they all need to go!!!!!!!!!
Ah, just because you are a loser doesn’t mean we can’t pay our bills
Left behind inflation is not by Biden. We know who .
“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of GOD, have mercy on me, a sinner”
Please pray these words now 🙏 and please consider beginnning daily prayer, it is a good habit that will help you if you actually do it and continue to do it 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Matthew 5:9
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of GOD”
I hope you are feeding, clothing and comforting the christian refugees on our southern border like jesus commanded you to?
will you shutup….
No one cares anymore, taxpayers hear this over and over.
and 3 months later… your broke again, whats going to happen when japan pulls their investments, since they are the only thing keeping you a loft, and the 3rd world countries who benefit from it… If you add up all the values, of investments into the dollar, you would be somewhere around 5-6th. Those in this world should invest in hands that create, and not those who murder.
Actually it is Chinese investment keeping us alive
No to spending cuts no to trumps garbage Republicans extremists garbage trash wall we must fund ukraine and Israel most spending for people
The Republicans are ruining this country with all these shutdowns. Not one word of protest when the Republicans blew up the deficit to give unneeded tax cuts to the rich. No they only protest when if benefits John and Jane Q Public. That’s when the make noise about Social Security a fund every working American puts funds into. It’s not free money. The Republican Party is not the party of fiscal conservatives unless they are saving their money and spending yours.
This again 😂
To see my comment, Google Ron Swanson
Please shut it down
Because you like paying more taxes
Please stop voting for Democrats and Republicans. Derp.
Literally this is the party that is endorsing trump think about that people. They are in disarray and they want to add fuel to the fire by wanting him back as president
Biden’s electability can’t win on this issue.
We will see!! 🧐🤔😊
What does that mean?
@Learn Steel Guitar in Retirement They don’t know either, because it make 0 sense.
Hey um…NBC couldn’t get you a better mic?
Oh well, the dems want everything their way & cry like little brats if they can’t get it. Just like their following. So we have a shut down
I find it hilarious that many who complain about the government are the same idiots electing in the Democrats and Republicans, which have been the source of the failed government for decades. Eh, when you’re stupid enough to vote Democrat or Republican, you’re obviously too stupid to understand you’re the problem.
It should not be allowed and even be possible to kick the can down the road …… But A lawless, dysfunctional and IRRESPONSIBLE government of course will do it until it is forcefully replaced….. To reach a PERMANENT AND BETTER SOLUTION.
The great reset
Shut it down and rebudget with Americans first
Bootgig salery down to $1.00😮
Tick – Tock. Will the GOP House deliver? Absolutely not.
Yeah and if they don’t the senate isn’t going to bail them out like last time. There needs to be a clean CR not a another short term stop-gap.
😱😱😱💩🤨
Imagine the government shuts down and people realize that for the most part government was nonessential 😂
Would be nice!
If the senate sticks with a clean CR being the only path forward – there will be a shutdown because they aren’t going to bail them out like last time.
Shut it down finally!
Seen it before and we will see again over and over again this to shall pass.
Over 33.7 TRILLION dollars of unsustainable debt. Collapse countdown. They knew in Jan that a balanced budget was due in Sep
Let it shut down necause government doesnt help americians anyway.
Blah, blah, blah as you disgustingly corrupt and complicit propaganda outlets need to be reined in!
A government would be awesome. Then everyone can just survive off grid in peace. Without their government
Oh no!
Just shut it down already. Our government is useless and trash now.
Shut it down
Bull F**king Sheet
SHUT IT DOWN! Government is the problem not the solution.
No money for Americans but billions for Ukraine and Israel. That makes all the sense!!😵💫🤦🏾♂️
Our government hasn’t been working so who cares😂
Just shut it down so that democrat Joe can’t give any more money to Iran!
Oh no! What are we going to do without the Government?
