NOT TRUE. All dems voted against it + Rand Paul.

Reconciliation. Hopefully will go issue by issue.

I don't think we're talking about the same thing. Schumer and ithers, where that budget bill is concerned, had the power to stop it in its tracks, because the GOP didn't have 60 votes. But a handful of Dems decided these were normal times, and they voted to let it go forward to a vote. That is caving, and it is true.

I was a federal employee and I know exactly why Schumer did it. You don't know what you don't know.

I don't want to lay out the downside to give anyone ideas but I experienced shutdowns and in 2013 when the Obama administration had a budget shortfall chose "sequestration" and I was personally involved. I sill have resentment for what happened.

Apparently 99% of the public is unaware what happens...including MSM....

Schumer was in a lose-lose situation.
