Must be nice to live on one side of the fence, the Dems are loving this shutdown, and blame it on the Republicans. Both sides need to quit thinking of themselves and start thinking of the American people they are hurting.

This is a data blackout period. Alternative data sources indicate some job losses but do not provide the full picture or confirmation of large-scale economic decline. This is important to keep in mind when interpreting statements about the current economy and labor conditions

  I LOVE hearing this statement repeated over and over.  

 

  Since Republicans don't have 60 votes, they don't get to insist that everyone else complies with whatever they order.

 

  They need the opposition to cooperate and that requires negotiation and compromise to obtain - that should be blindingly obvious by now.  

 

  This is Wile E. Coyote level of stupidity by the GOP.

And yet the Dems can hold the country hostage until the Repubs agree to add $1.5 Trillion (with a T) to the budget.  Including $200B for healthcare, with free care for illegals.

US unemployment rate rounds up to 4.4% in October, Chicago Fed estimates

 

The U.S. jobless rate likely edged up in October to the highest in four years as the hiring rate for unemployed workers slowed and the rate of layoffs and other job separations increased, according to an estimate by the Chicago Fed released Thursday.

And then when President Mandami is faced with obstructionist Republicans in 2029, the Democrats can use the nukular option to force their policies through.

 

But in that case, of course, it would be wrong.

Worst lay-offs in October since 2003 - 22 years ago. All the winning must be so tiresome!😆

'I actually think the president would be blamed.' Trump's 2011 shutdown comments resurface

 

A recording posted to Vimeo by Roll Call Factbase shows Trump said the following: "In my opinion, I hear the Democrats are gonna be blamed, I hear Republicans are gonna be blamed, I actually think the president would be blamed," he said. "If there is a shutdown ... I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the one that has to get people together."

1996 law makes it illegal for federal government to help illegals. Only states can use their money without touching federal money.

Free healthcare for illegals is just another lie, Trumpeted by either Trolls or people who just parrot whatever they hear, without checking the facts for themselves.

The feds send all kinds of money to the states. That doesn't mean those payments are replacements.
