The Schumer Shutdown is, yup, democrat's fault.

Because apparently some people don't understand how the government, works, you need 60 votes in the senate to pass a spending bill. Republicans have 51 seats, democrats have 49. It is IMPOSSIBLE to pass a spending bill without at least 60 votes. The troll tier "hurr durr well republicans control the senate lol" excuse is just uninformed garbabe. People saying this either don't know what they're talking about or they are being intentionally dishonest. The fact of the matter is a bill came up for a vote to keep the government open and democrats didn't support it. Republicans didn't put something in the bill to piss off dems, it didn't have anything in it they actually oppose. They pulled this stunt because they wanted DACA slipped in with no immigration concessions whatsoever from republicans. They literally, not figuratively, put amnesty for illegal immigrants ahead of children's health insurance and soldiers getting paid on time, among other things. DACA wasn't going to be ended until march, there was no reason DACA had to be injected into funding the government. None. This was democrat's and their desperate attempt to get leverage because they have a minority in both houses and don't have the white house.

  • Much more complicated than that OP. If you look at the Republicans spending they will kill america and put us further into debt. All this other drama is avoiding the real issue. Republicans want to give more to the top and don't give two shits about anybody else. This is enabled by the fact that our president is a dumb ass and his interests are his own self interests. Democrats are just tired of Republicans abusing offices and power. They threw in a monkey wrench into it as Republican spending is out of control. No one is looking at how to pay for half of what is proposed. Sure the Democrats seem like the bad guys but they are the only ones who are sane. Republicans every time they get a president in office or have majority they try to friggan spend. George Bush Jr was no different. You just never seen half of what was going on. Republicans are out for the rich and no one else. Wake up to the fact that we can't afford another war let alone another crisis we are going to be put into because the Republicans are trying to go for Uncontrolled spending. Allot more going on here than you see. Trump keeps amplifying it by twitter and his image that he himself tarnished and not only that tarnished America along with his party. I take no sides but i refuse to turn a blind eye to stupidity.
