However, what Democrats are trying to do now is raise the debt ceiling and force far-left proposals into a funding bill. Republicans aren’t on board with this and aren’t going to vote for it.
Therefore, as a result of Democrats putting partisanship over the good of the country, a shutdown may very well be on its way. The Biden administration confirmed this to the media, noting the harmful effects that a shutdown would have on the economy, especially amid the present financial crisis.
Americans who directly work for the federal government are already receiving word that a shutdown could be coming. This would mean devastation, since many federal workers lose out on payment when government shutdowns occur.
Congress in disorder
Make no mistake; Congress could easily avoid a government shutdown by passing a clean spending bill without far-left projects. However, this is something Democrats are fighting against.
In fact, Democrats are so hellbent on forcing far-left pet projects into spending legislation that even moderate leftist lawmakers aren’t on board. This speaks volumes about what the Democrat Party has become in 2021.
