Democrats shut down the government for frivolous reasons

 DC Daily Journal:

...

These left-wing politicians turned their backs on a straightforward plan that would have kept the government running smoothly, choosing instead to dig in their heels over extending those bloated COVID-era Obamacare handouts.

Gruters went on to expose their priorities: “Democrats are holding up critical funding for our veterans, seniors, law enforcement, and working families because they want to pass a far-left wish list costing more than $1 trillion.”

The RNC chief pulled no punches in calling out the Democrat leadership. “Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and every Democrat that follows them are fighting for health care for illegal aliens, Medicaid fraud, and taxpayer-funded s*x changes,” he added, spotlighting the outrageous items they’re willing to shut down the government over.

As Breitbart News laid it out plainly, “The Democrat plan to fund the government by extending covid pandemic-era Obamacare subsidies would cost taxpayers $1.5 trillion, a non-starter for Republicans.”

This shutdown isn’t about fiscal responsibility; it’s a desperate power play by Democrats who are losing ground on every front.

They’re grasping at straws because the Trump-led Republicans are finally delivering real wins for the American people.

Texas Congressman Chip Roy cut through the noise in an interview with Breitbart News Daily, explaining the Democrats’ panic. “They don’t have anything that they can currently fight on,” he told the host just before the shutdown hit.

Roy pointed to the momentum on the Republican side: “President Trump, the current Republican Congress, we’re moving the needle in the right direction. We’re pushing back on their crazy agenda. We’re securing the border, stopping most of the flow. We’re removing illegal aliens… We are trying to restore military.”

“We’re fighting the woke agenda. I can keep going. I’m not going to go down the whole list, because your question, and just get to the heart of it is, they’re scrambling to find a message to get an offense on.”
...

Democrats also seem to think that giving illegal immigrants funding and the vote is a key to them making a comeback, since they are now polling in the 30s with legal voters.   I suspect the Democrats will lose even more voters with this play.  The Democrats' irresponsible spending is a threat to the dollar and to sanity.

Newt Gingrich says Democrats just pulled off a DOUBLE NEGATIVE with this shutdown. He’s been in politics for over 45 years, but he says what Democrats are doing at the moment is one of the DUMBEST moves he’s ever witnessed. Things could not look more bleak: “This may be the dumbest strategy that I have seen in a long time. There are two things the American people want,” Gingrich explained. 1.) Do not close the government and 2. Do not raise spending. "So what do the Democrats do? They say, 'I’m going to close the government until you raise spending.'" “That’s a DOUBLE NEGATIVE!” Gingrich stressed. He asked: “Do you know how hard it is for a major party to design a strategy that has two different stupid things in the same strategy?… But it is really one of the dumbest moments in Party history — certainly in the last 30 or 40 years.”
