US government shutdown looms after Trump-backed spending deal fails to pass in House
ai generated text
US House of Representatives rejected a Republican-led spending bill that would have provided a temporary solution to avert a looming government shutdown. The bill failed by a vote of 174-235. A total of 38 Republicans voted against the measure, aligning with almost all Democrats, who rejected the proposal in protest. The package would have increased spending and cleared the way for a plan that would add trillions more to the federal government's $US36 trillion ($58 trillion) debt.
Republicans are doing the bidding of their billionaire benefactors at the expense of hardworking Americans.
The ... proposal is not serious, it's laughable. Extreme MAGA Republicans are driving us to a government shutdown.
I have Republican colleagues who'd rather run over their own mom with a car than to vote to cut spending.
Government is too big, it does too many things, and it does few things well.
We're going to regroup and we will come up with another solution, so stay tuned.
It is, I think, really irresponsible for us to risk a shutdown over these issues on things that they have already agreed upon.
Speaker Mike Johnson and the House have come to a very good Deal.
Anybody that supports a bill that doesn't take care of the Democrat quicksand known as the debt ceiling should be primaried and disposed of as quickly as possible.
If there is going to be a shutdown of government, let it begin now, under the Biden administration, not after January 20th, under 'TRUMP'. This is a Biden problem to solve, but if Republicans can help solve it, they will!.
I'm not gonna vote for another debt limit increase without knowing what the actual cuts will be. That's a non-starter.
To take this bill and congratulate yourself because it's shorter in pages, but increases the debt by $5tn, is asinine. That's precisely what Republicans are doing.
I am absolutely sickened by the party that campaigns on fiscal responsibility.
While our personnel are prepared to handle high volumes of travelers and ensure safe travel, please be aware that an extended shutdown could mean longer wait times at airports.
Republicans blew up this deal and they need to fix it … The impact of this would hurt our veterans and vulnerable people. Republicans need to uphold their side of the deal.
