We Have Shut Down, Thanks to Chuck Schumer...and It's Off to a Rough Start

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet 

 

The Schumer shutdown has begun. Congressional Democrats want $1.5 trillion for illegal alien health care and refunding of National Public Radio. I’m not kidding—they shut down the government for those items. Oh, and to gut the rural health care fund, which they slammed Republicans for starving it of resources, only for the GOP to allocate monies toward it, and now they want it repealed. These aren’t serious people. No doubt, the Schumer shutdown is a catchy phrase. It should be the point of the lance, but then pin them for wanting to give illegal aliens health care.

 

This move is classic Democrat overreach: they’ve overestimated their hand. The shutdown doesn’t really impact most Americans. Do you know who is? Government workers, who are also likely to be Democratic voters, will not be pleased about being furloughed. Voters don’t want the government to increase spending or shut down. Democrats are now fighting for both, so whoever is leading the political strategy sessions on the Hill for Democrats needs to be fired. Read more, see Xs and videos here.
