Not impressed Mitch.

[Dilbert San Diego]

So now what? Will the federal government shut down, or default on federal debt, or other drastic consequences? Stay tuned.

[rktman]

Yeah because we need to get this debt payed down. Right? Hello? Bueller? Okay, show of hands who thinks it will ever be payed down..........

[Starboard]

So the same people who brought us this debt crisis are managing the spending limit? How screwed up is this?

[fruser1]

My guess is that a clean CR will be passed which will go up to Christmas, as it has for almost every year since TARP, providing much needed political holiday entertainment.

[Nathan _in_Arkansas]

Burn it down.

[Carriage Hill]

Let it crash.

This disaster the REPUBLICANS have steered us toward, you say?

Words escape me...

[A Navy Vet]

"Simply allow for a simple majority threshold to raise the debt ceiling and avoid this needless catastrophe that Republicans have steered us toward," Schumer said."

"Catastrophe"! Can that putz EVER say anything that is not pure hyperbole? IIRC, there has never been any "catastrophe" in any of the past so-called Fedgov shutdowns. The country keeps operating while most don't even notice other being spoon-fed the "catastrophe" on MSM with their hysterics and hair on fire. Fedgov employees get a free vacation and then back pay.

No one other than lower enlisted military that live paycheck to paycheck and some campers denied entrance to parks are affected. I can't recall if the "gimmedats" welfare checks are sent. So what if they aren't?

I've always said, "the less the Fedgov is in session, the less harm they can do." Shut it down! I don't care. So I miss some SS payments, I've positioned my retirement not to count on that income.

Has anyone noticed that Schumer and Pelosi are no longer pushing for the end of the filibuster? No surprise to me with the 2022 rout coming. They are mean and evil, but not stupid.

They will need the filibuster when they lose the House and Senate.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Give Mitch his props. But just imagine how great it would be if Mitch were really on our side …

[unixfox]

Oh look, more theater.

[eeriegeno]

It must be about 11:45pm? Time to start thinking about the budget again!

[rrrod]

On this...well done.

[The MAGA-Deplorian]

Mitch will fold quicker than Superman on laundry day to keep the Chinese government working for Mao’s people.

[montanajoe]

Well they shut down the Fed government a couple times during Trumps first year guess it’s political payback..

If the US Government defaults on their debt can’t see anyway the GOP won’t be blamed...
