Dems shut down the government because they think it''s not going bankrupt fast enough
2025-10-04
[NYPOST] Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
have shut down the federal government because they think the federal debt isn't spiraling out of control fast enough — they demand the Republican majorities in Congress agree to spend more taxpayer cash on Dems' priorities.

Dems forced the shutdown by using the filibuster to prevent a Senate floor vote that would've passed the House ''stopgap'' bill to fund federal operations for another six weeks or so.

As their price just to allow a vote, Democrats demand roughly $1.5 trillion in added spending.

Despite their denials, a significant part of that is funding for health coverage for illegal immigrants colonists: Their own alternative bill spelled that out, with language repealing recent GOP legislation that restricts Medicaid coverage of such migrants colonists.

The main category of federal Medicaid spending on ''undocumented aliens'' jumped from $3 billion in 2023 to $9 billion in 2024; even more federal cash flows indirectly to such care via various state accounting gimmicks that the Biden administration winked at.

An even bigger chunk of Dems' $1.5 trillion demand is to fund ObamaCare subsidies to lower the price of insurance bought via the ''exchanges.''
