Government employee union just threw Schumer under the bus. Let's see if he has the balls to piss off the rest of the base come Nov 1st.
That’s what is so weird about this shutdown. Dems are directly responsible for having one of their strongest support bases, federal government workers, out of work and struggling to pay bills.Government employee union just threw Schumer under the bus.

This is exactly the cause of almost every level of government now being in debt. They kept spending like the COVID funny money was going to flow forever and those governments (all left-leaning) refuse to make cuts to pre-COVID levels.How much of the government “shutdown” is related to COVID relief subsidies that never got taken off the books?Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
Any, Dems own this so it’s their problemZ
My gut tells me both the Obamacare subsidies and a good chunk of EBT/SNAP were put in place when the world was shut down. Common sense says that once the world opened back up again, those payments should have ended.
Locally, this is what the City of Spokane did - they prepared their 22-23 budget based on COVID revenue, then never readjusted their spending to pre COVID levels. And now the city cries about not having enough revenue to pay the bills. Total bullshit.
As Always government has no economic incentives to cut costs and every incentive to increase them.

Panhandlers only take cash.I could get behind a SNAP program that delivers rice, chicken and vegetables once a week.
I don't think it'll get to that. It's political theater, yelling, and click bait for people who make a living off of being provocateurs.The SNAP civil war kicks off this weekend. It's been entertaining watching liberals cry about "how is anything supposed to function" while just living a regular life.
