The longest government shutdown in America is over….for now that is. After 35 days and 800,000 government employees missing out on two paychecks, you know who conceded and agreed to open the government.
The problem is that this is only a temporary resolution. If Congress and you know who cannot come together, the government will shut down again in three weeks.
At least he did not get his border wall.
After weeks of a stalemate on both sides of the aisle, the halting of a number of flights by the FAA at a number of East Coast Airports (including LaGuardia Airport in New York City), due to staffing shortage finally got the attention of those in power.
From my perspective, the administration is completely tone-deaf to the needs of American people. They want to accomplish what they want to accomplish and if there are adverse consequences, so be it.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross asked why furloughed workers couldn’t just go to the bank and ask for a loan to cover their expenses.
His net worth, as of 2016, was estimated to be $2.9 billion.
And then, you know who suggested that the grocery stores would be willing to “work” with the Federal employees until they receive their next paycheck.
These comments are tone-deaf, insensitive and is proof in my eyes that this administration no idea what the average American goes through on a day-to-day basis.
Just another reason for you know who to be a one term President.
