The members of congtress should have had this done weeks ago but they were on vacation or just not in dc. Where are their negotiation skills. If there is a shut down it is on all members of congress. Maybe they should stay in Washington all the time when congress is in session
and they don't get paid until the deal is done and no back pay for them! I liked Warren's Buffet idea about how if Congress can't pass a balanced budget no one in the congress is allowed to run for office the next term
"Oct. 1 deadline looming as Senate Democrats try to get better deal" OR "Oct 1 deadline looming as Republicans refuse to protect American's ACA rates from huge increases"
You are supposed to be non biased, please share the blame between both parties.
You're right. Thune and Johnson are being dishonest. They are responsible for cuts to SNAP, Medicaid, VA benefits, and many other programs that help working class and middle class Americans. This impasse is about saving health insurance and ensuring the premiums don't increase. Read about the effects on premiums if Thune and his colleagues have their way. And the increases will begin Oct. 1. To believe the Republicans will discuss this "later" is naive. The irony is that most of the governors signing this are from states that take more from the government than give. And their constituents will be among those most damaged. Or is the shutdown threat just another way to distract from the Epstein files? The Scout should ask the SD delegation if they believe the women victimized by rich and powerful (and no doubt primarily white) men and women and ask who they are protecting. In 2016 I asked my father, a registered Republican, what he thought of Senators Thune and Rounds. He said they were weak men who would do whatever they were told to do. Seems he was right.

It is the same story every year, wait until the last days then threaten shut down. Don’t blame the Dems by themselves, takes two to tango.
I’m for getting an amendment that term limits Congress.
The Dementia Democrats want an ADDITIONAL $1,400,000,000,,, yep $1.4 TRILLION in new spending.
What idiot is going to say that is a good idea?
