Government shutdown is a serious issue that effects individuals that are
employed or receiving benefits via government (Military, Veterans, Education,
Social Security, Section 8...). Shutdown is caused mostly from arguments
between parties. Parties use a Shutdown as a threat to delay or sway the
passing of bills and policies. Politician are self-absorbed individuals that
only care about self-recognition.
I find it frustrating that most headlines
implicate President Trump as the egotistical individual causing the shutdown.
Yet he has only tried to accomplish what his campaign said he would. President
Trump is sadly to say is the closest to selfless politician we may ever see.
The real villain is the Democratic Party. The
democrats continue to find something wrong with Trump proposed bills. The first
was the border wall, which I agree is a waste of funds. Yet now the democrats
want to complain about Trump’s tax plan. At some point we have to realize the
House and senate can act like two stubborn child in a fight. American citizens
need to step in as these children’s parents and have them sort this out.
It is important for Americans understand the importance
of government shutdown and Trumps tax plan. A Government Shutdown can cause
furloughs as seen with the Bush, Clinton and Obama administration. A furlough is the equivalent to government laying
of workers. This shutdown is getting closer, but thankfully congress passed a stopgap
funding to delay a shutdown for a week. But the media says it is to avoid embarrassment
for Trump, in my opinion it is to avoid the Democratic parties embarrassment. Democratic
are not agreeing to a bill that would slash taxes for low income families? (So
much for those liberal beliefs). A Government Shutdown is a terrible political
weapon that should never be used a threat. A Shutdown cause financial troubles for innocent bystanders.
