I’ll probably end up doing a face palm with this question, but...
How does defunding ObunglerCare equate with shutting down the government?? I’m thinking it’s because there will be a big fight to the finish (ie to the point where gov shuts down or the R’s back down)...??
A bunch of eunuchs are running the opposition!
You are too kind to them.
Actually, you're right. Since the Democrat Senate won't pass a budget, the government is funded by continuing resolutions (which is another reason the debt ceiling debate keeps coming up).
If the Democrats insist on funding DeathCare through a CR and the Republicans actually stand on their hind legs for once and defeat them, the Democrats will shut down the government.
And that last sentence is known as 'message management', which the Republican Party refuses to attempt.
