Chuck Schumer says he won't block Republican funding bill amid Democratic divisions over shutdown strategy

[–] [email protected] -4 points 3 months ago (7 children)

I’m asking this seriously, not looking to start an argument.

Do you disagree with this?

“There are no winners in a government shutdown,” Schumer said in a floor speech. “It’s not really a decision; it’s a Hobson’s choice: Either proceed with the bill before us or risk Donald Trump throwing America into the chaos of a shutdown.

“For sure, the Republican bill is a terrible option. It is not a clean CR [continuing resolution]. It is deeply partisan. It doesn’t address far too many of this country’s needs. But I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option,” he added. “I will vote to keep the government open and not shut it down.”

Yeah I disagree with him, he is saying avoiding a shutdown is better, but I think that allowing the Republicans to rob Medicaid funding and use that to give tax breaks to only billionaires is far worse long-term than a government shutdown now.
