no you got it wrong, the debt ceiling is not a thing, most countries dont have it because it makes no sense to have it. How can the U.S go into debt when it can print its own money? Same with alot of other countries. The federal government is not a business so going into debt is not a thing, its got currency sovereignty.
If it means sending more tax payer dollars to Ukraine then by all means shut it down. This is the most irresponsible spending I've ever seen in the US. Maui could be completely restored with just one day of funds that goes to the Ukraine conflict.
That is exactly what is going on. These 5 Freedom Caucus members are refusing to sign the bill because they want the tax payer dollars to Ukraine to be removed from this bill. They want this Ukraine war spending to stop. They also want the southern border fixed and then they will sign this spending bill.
Um u must not live in our country, and I agree with you that we need to stop sending money to them as well but a shut down hurts the entire world’s economy and destroys the value of the dollar.
@@UncomfortableConversations7 Look around, our current administration and world socialists are doing that every day. Food and gas are outrageously expensive and child poverty has doubled in the last year. There’s going to be nothing left if we keep letting them take away our fundamental liberties.

You don't know what you are talking about. A shutdown could cause all sorts of issues, including harm the GDP, cause massive unemployment, even if temporary, cost government programs millions to "start up" again, and possibly cause a recession.
I’ll tell you what actually happens during a furlough. Non essential employees take a vacation and comeback to work when it’s all sorted, with retroactive pay. Not as big of a deal as media makes it. I’ve been through many government shutdowns.
How nice for you. A vacation? I am a government worker and have always had to work during government shutdowns because I am essential. I would be very embarrassed and guilty having a "vacation" while others work. Here's to the essential workers. We are here for the Americans we serve.
Does anyone know if it would have any effect on Section 8? I have disabled friends whose lives would be absolutely destroyed if they allowed that to happen. It's the only thing keeping them from being homeless, and even with being certified by the federal government as being disabled, it took them *_years_* (during which they spent their life's savings and went even more heavily into debt borrowing money to pay the rent) to finally get into the program.

It's getting bad. They are taking $169. For Medicare starting this month. I didn't apply for Medicare. I get $712. A month for disability. Now they are going to take that much so now I have to live on $540. A month. I was barely making ends meet. Now I won't have enough for my heat this winter.

It may be in a few years but it will start again. Then what we give more handouts cause they didn't prepare. Guarantee putin isn't going to let up long enough for Ukraine to join nato
it was the impact on the flying American public due to layoffs of TSA agents that caused Rethuglicons the last shutdown to "scurry around with their tails between their legs" in a rush to end the shutdown. Me thinks the same situation will happen this time around also.
Fund the police, fire departments, military, social security, and shut all of the rest of government down. Federal, states, and cities. Shut down the FBI, CIA, doj, atf, TSA, FDA, irs, schools, don't fund unemployment shut it down. All of it. We can have our citizens defend our borders, we can teach our children. Let Americans see how their lives improve without all the government interference.
Who could object to a continuing resolution (Through 1-31-25) to freeze spending for a year and half. It would be the first time in our history Congress actually saved money.
It would allow the government to keep spending at the same rate - and this government has spent an addition 1.6 BILLION $$ since June 2023, That spending is NOT ok. It would also allow the government and BIDEN to keep sending BILLIONS of our tax payer dollars to the Ukraine war. We must save more than you are proposing.
This threat seems to occur every year. It is political game/theatre that needs to stop. It’s like crying wolf each year. If they were planners, they would start working on getting the ground work done on these bills FAR AHEAD of time, and pull the finalized trigger on the due date. No more cramming these thousand page + bills through at the very last minute (so no one has time to read them). They are getting paid handsomely to argue.
How utterly pathetic is it that those who failed to pass a budget still get paid and not the federal employees?
