DEMOCRATS ALREADY PONDERING ANOTHER GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN???


Apparently, since the last time the Democrats decided to shut down the government worked out so well for them, it should come as no surprise that they actually seem to be contemplating doing so once again. Proving yet again that Democrats are focused only on what’s best for their party and not on what’s best for the American people. Democrats are determined to stymie President Trump’s agenda to dig the country out from under the mess that was left behind by Joe Biden. Meanwhile, the Democrat strategy appears to be one focused on the midterm elections with the plan being to prevent any economic gains from being made between now and then.

And it was during an interview that aired just this past Wednesday on the “PBS NewsHour,” that Rep. Jimmy Panetta, another of those who few outside his district have likely ever heard of, responded to a question on whether Democrats should shut the government down over healthcare by saying that he doesn’t want a shutdown, but “it’s gotten to that situation where we’ve had to shut down the government in order to fix our differences.” So, here we have another no name leftwing clown actually admitting that the last shutdown, which they said was a Republican shutdown, was actually inspired by the Democrats. It really is getting a little difficult to follow along.

“NewsHour” Correspondent Lisa Desjardins asked, “There’s a funding deadline in January, at the end of January. Should Democrats demand healthcare action in return for funding government again?” Panetta said, “Look, that’s what we demanded during the shutdown, and we got to this point right now. And, hopefully, that’s something where we’ll be able to fix it in early January, because the last thing we want is a government shutdown. That’s not what I wanted back then. It’s not what I’ve wanted throughout my time in Congress. But, unfortunately, it’s gotten to that situation where we’ve had to shut down the government in order to fix our differences."

This guy went on to say, “Hopefully, this is something, with this discharge petition, we can pass it out of the House, get it to the Senate, and then have something, a foundation to extend the tax credits well before the budget deadline.” So he admits that the Democrats did what they claimed they didn’t do so far after the fact that their voters will be unlikely to figure it out. So first, a Democrat admits that it was a Democrat shutdown and second, in Democrat-speak, “fixing our differences” actually translates into “letting the minority rule.” And so, in their usual infantile manner, if Democrats can’t dominate the sandbox, then they’ll simply choose to piss in it.

The Democrats had a temper tantrum and shut down the government from October 1 to November 12 and got nothing for it. So they apparently think that if at first you don’t succeed… But then what else have they got?  We elect those who we hope are responsible people to create laws that benefit us all, but that doesn’t work when one side insists only on pouting and stamping their feet or threatening to hold their breath until they turn blue. How fitting. Democrats seem convinced that a shutdown will help them heading into November’s midterm elections. Democrats repeat the same offenses for the same reason, that being to advance their agenda to destroy our country.

Democrats only want to shut down the government out of fear, fear that President Trump is right about there being an economic boom looming right around the corner. It used to be that shutting down the government was something considered, by both sides, to be the last resort and totally unthinkable. But then that was a different time. Today the Democrats seem to be of the opinion that a little suffering on the part of the people is acceptable, especially if it leads to some level political gain for their party. And their many allies in the ‘fake news’ media are always quite eager to provide any amount of political cover that might be needed.

So it would seem that Democrats learned nothing from their 40+ day Schumer shutdown. Meanwhile President Trump got a lot done and the Democrats essentially got nothing. And President Trump continues to get a lot done. Venezuela drug boats being blown out of the water, ICE deporting thousands, gas prices have dropped, and numerous wars have been ended. So, if Democrats want to shut down the government again it’s OK with me. They have to shut down the government. It is their only tool for slowing what’s likely to be some strong economic growth prior to the midterms. Personally, I’m open to shutting down the government, completely and permanently.

The primary motive when it comes to the Democrats method of choice of how best “to fix our differences” has likely much to do with trying to come up with ways to increase their odds of winning the midterms. And while it’s Democrats talking about shutting down the government, they will most assuredly claim that they’re not the ones responsible for any shutdown. Democrats are pure evil. They put their desire for power and control over the wellbeing of the American people, those who support them and those who don’t. Anyone foolish enough to believe that these people genuinely care about the plight of the American people brought about by their policies are…fools!

Obamacare was, is, and will continue to be nothing but a complete disaster that was shoved through in the dark of night by many of the same Democrats now desperate to save it. Costs soared, monopolies formed while independent healthcare entities went down. Longer waits, more co-pays. Rather than fixing the problem Democrats want only to throw more taxpayer money at it. The only thing they have is shutting down the government, Democrats have no plans to change Obamacare with its sky-high rates, and sky-high deductibles, for absolutely no coverage. So while taxpayers are forced to pay our own premiums we’re forced make things “affordable” for others.

And finally, marching toward a single payer healthcare system is not a solution. Writing a blank check to insurance companies is a failed policy. Group insurance controlled by consumers will bring down costs. Asking Democrats to be smart about legislation is an oxymoron. Looking back, who was it that didn’t see this healthcare fiasco coming when the Democrats, acting strictly on their own, passed it and ‘BO’ signed it. Anytime the government gets involved, the only possible outcome is a shitstorm of inefficiencies and billions of taxpayer dollars disappearing down yet another governmental shithole. And the Democrat solution? Shut down the government.
