When we last talked, my guess was the Government would shut down and it did. Trust me, I am not patting myself on the back and I hated the last 36 hours. At one point I became sick and tired of the whole thing.
Passing these short term resolutions makes me crazy. Running the Government one month at a time is ridiculous. There is no successful company on the planet than runs this way and for good reason. So, that’s number one. It’s great that the Government is back up and running but the entire thing was stupid, wasteful and a perfect example of what is wrong with those we place in leadership positions. Worst of all, we will be right back here again come February 8th when this resolution expires. How dumb is this? Really dumb.
The Schumer shutdown was a big bust for the Democrats. As I said, their number one goal wasn’t about DACA. Their goal was to make the President look bad and make him look like he isn’t capable of running the country. 36 hours later, the President doesn’t budge and yes, the Democrats blinked.
This stunt has the DACA people feeling that the Democrats let them down and used them for political hostages. Ya think? To the DACA people (and more importantly, all legal citizens), if you haven’t already figured it out let me make it very clear for you. The Democrats don’t care about you and don’t feel bad, they don’t care about any of us. They care about power and they will go to any lengths to regain it. If you’re still a non-believer consider this;
The Democrats just got done voting NO for tax cuts for all citizens. Why? Because it was proposed by the other party. They would rather you and I not be able to keep more of our money than to agree with something proposed by the other party. That’s more important to them than you are. The Republicans, all of them, voted NO on Obamacare. A big difference here. The Republicans voted NO because they felt Obamacare was bad for “you”. Reducing taxes, keeping more of our money can never be a bad thing, never.
The Dems just put their party over our military troops, our vets, and children’s health. Forget about the fact they did this on the false narrative that it was for the DACA people. It is not as though that makes their argument better, it makes it even worse. They voted NO because the other party proposed it. That’s the only reason. They are hell bent on making the President look bad and convinced this will gain them the seats they need to once again have the power, the majority. To beat a dead horse, nothing else matters to them, nothing. It doesn’t matter what is good for the country, what is good for us, it only matters that they regain their power.
What a great platform they have in November. “Vote for me, I stood against you keeping more of your money! I stood up against the Republicans when they wanted to lower corporate taxes. I know millions of you received higher wages and bonuses because of these lower taxes but remember, corporations are evil. I voted against the repeal of the individual insurance mandate because I know all of you wanted to pay the fine so that you could help others pay less for their insurance. Finally, vote for me because I stood strong for 36 hours in favor of people who are not citizens. I know it looked like I didn’t care about the military but I love the military. I know it appeared I didn’t care about our children’s health but I do, I am a Democrat, I care about everyone. If you honor me with your vote, I promise I will fight for you and work hard to get President Trump impeached. Let us never forget, he is the one that gave you these horrible tax breaks, he’s to blame for this country’s economy, and he cannot hide from producing the lowest unemployment in our history. A vote for me is a vote for the American people.”
Only in politics can such spin occur.
To the DACA folks I will end by saying you should rethink who you put your faith in. Your faith in the hands of the democrats and their leader Chuck Schumer obviously was a huge mistake. I hope you’ve learned by this and understand it was really never about you. The only hope you have is in the hands of the very person you’ve spit on, marched against and called a racist. Your only hope indeed is the President of the United States, the leader of the Republican Party.
