Government Shutdown Avoided For The Moment

Government Shutdown Avoided For The Moment
The House passed a temporary spending bill to avoid the shutdown. The final vote was 230-197, with 11 Republicans voting “no” and 5 Democrats voting “yes.”

Democrats who wanted the shutdown just could not come up with a way to explain to the American people why they wanted to close down Washington.



While Nancy Pelosi tried to sell America her shit sundae story about the CHIP Program being the reason.  Americans weren't buying her sob story. The fact is, Democrats wanted to put illegal immigrants ahead of Americans.

They were planning to shut down the Government because Democrats wanted full amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants.

The bottom line is The Democrats, as they have done with African-Americans, wanted to con these illegal immigrants into thinking they were their savior, so they could vote Democrat in future elections.

A temporary spending bill passed in the House of Representatives Thursday evening, but its prospects in the Senate are unclear as Congress fights to avoid a government shutdown set for Friday night.

The final House vote in favor of the bill was 230-197, with 11 Republicans voting no and six Democrats voting yes. Republicans hold a slim 51-49 majority in the Senate.

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, R-Wis., spoke to reporters just after the vote and directed his comments to Senate Democrats and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

“Senator Schumer, do not shut down the federal government. Do not jeopardize funding for our military and for our national security. Do not jeopardize funding for the children’s health insurance program.”

He added that not passing the bill is “risky, reckless and it is wrong.”

Implying that Republicans have done their part, Ryan put the possibility of a government shutdown solely on the shoulders of Democrats.

“I ask the American people to understand this. The only people standing the way of keeping the government open are Senate Democrats,” he said.

While the bill appears very unlikely to pass in the Senate Thursday, members have opened the floor for debate.
