I wonder if shutting the government down will help, or hurt this border crisis that we're so desperate to get under control. 

I'm inclined to suggest the latter, but am open to hearing how it might help if anyone has any thoughts on it.  

Biden has actually sped up the process for migrants to get job permits so thats good. As far as people flooding the border, it won't help at all.

It's the GOP trying to get Biden to do what he said.  In the end it looks like the GOP doesn't like troops if you read anything someone from the left writes.

I haven't seen one person post the reasoning of the GOP side and why the shutdown is looming.

So they're going to shut the government down to make Biden 'do what he said'? That's weak. 

This unnecessary shutdown forced by the extremist wing* of the GOP is going to hurt the country, and then the GOP will point to it as a failing of the Biden administration, and people are going to buy into it hook line & sinker. Hell, you're already buying into it. 

*Is it even a wing anymore, or is the entirety of the GOP now extremist? They are by traditional conservative standards, but I digress. 

Also, for someone who doesn't follow politics as 'rabidly as the rest of us' you sure do have a lot to say in the defense of the GOP.

What is Biden not doing that he said he would do, that's worthy of this action?

I did tell you and it came as I'm defending the GOP.

What I had read was It boils down to Ukraine spending and transparency.  GOP doesn't think the admin is holding up to what they promised. They also don't want the spending increased without trying to make cut backs.

Government spending wasn't an issue when trump was in office, but we're to believe it's an issue for the GOP now? That it's a matter of such great importance to them that they're willing to shut the government down over it? What changed between trump's term and Biden's besides the political affiliation of POTUS? 

That rationale behind shutting the government down over spending in Ukraine doesn't pass the smell test, you get that, right?

That's a ruse.  They do this every time a CR or budget is required.  They shut down the gov't when Trump was president.  They shut down the gov't in 2013, and twice in 2018.  None of that had anything to do with Ukraine.

It's almost as if the maga republicans are being disingenuous about why they want to shut the government down. That doesn't sound like them, does it? Nah...

The Brandon Crime Wave had an agreement with Kevin in the spring regarding a budget deal to avoid this shit in the fall. Kevin didn’t hold up his end of the agreement because he caved to the minority faction of Freedumb Causuckers. Kevin is weak and can’t be trusted. 8% cuts across the board except for the military and veterans, including $14.7B to education in poor school districts. Great for helping children of immigrants to get educated, right?

How great of a job would you do at work if you were required to show up and do your job but you weren’t going to be paid? Air traffic controller, border patrol, customs enforcement, TSA, military, let’s say? 

Fucking repubs haven’t even proposed a detailed budget to counter what the Brandon Crime Wave proposed nor taken up Demented Joe’s offer to negotiate. Weak sauce and total lack of leadership. If Joe’s so demented, you’d figure they’d run circles around him being the geniuses they are but nope.

Serious answer: Money. They want money, be it in the form of fundraising or a nice new job at Newsmax.

“We love the uneducated.” What fucking future dystopian nation do you want to live in?

FACT SHEET: House Republican Proposals Hurt Children, Students, and Borrowers, and Undermine Education

Congressional Republicans are holding the nation's full faith and credit hostage in an effort to impose devastating cutbacks that would hurt children and undermine education, raise costs for hardworking families, and set back economic growth. And they are demanding these slashes while separately advancing proposals to add over $3 trillion to deficits through tax giveaways skewed to the wealthy and big corporations.

While President Biden's plan invests an additional $11 billion to improve education while lowering everyday costs of essentials like child-care for families, House Republicans' proposal to cut a broad range of critical programs by 22% will:

• Gut Funding for Low-Income Students. The proposal would cut approximately $4 billion in funding for schools serving low-income children, impacting an estimated 26 million students and reducing program funding to its lowest level in almost a decade—a cut equivalent to removing more than 60,000 teachers and specialized instructional support personnel from classrooms.

• Reduce Support for Students with Disabilities. Under the proposal, as many as 7.5 million children with disabilities would face reduced supports—a cut equivalent to removing more than 48,000 teachers and related services providers from the classroom.

• Slash Mental Health Support for Students. The House Republican proposal would limit educators' abilities to address student mental health issues and prevent violence, suicide, and drug abuse by cutting Title IV, Part A funding for schools by about $300 million.

• Make College More Expensive. A 22% budget cut would likely eliminate Pell Grants altogether for 80,000 students while reducing the maximum award by nearly $1,000 for the remaining 6.6 million recipients, making it harder to attend and afford college. 

Eliminate Student Debt Relief and Borrower Supports. The proposal would cancel the President's student debt relief plan, keeping much needed emergency student loan relief of up to $20,000 for more than 40 million Americans recovering from the effects of the pandemic. It would also block the creation of new, more affordable student loan payment plans.

See below how these reckless cuts would impact education in each state:

• Alabama
• Alaska
• Arizona
• Arkansas
• California
• Colorado
• Connecticut
• District of Columbia
• Delaware
• Florida
• Georgia
• Hawaii
• Idaho
• Illinois
• Indiana
• Iowa
• Kansas
• Kentucky
• Louisiana
• Maine
• Maryland
• Massachusetts
• Michigan
• Minnesota
• Mississippi
• Missouri
• Montana
• Nebraska
• Nevada
• New Hampshire

So the gop wants to punish poor and disabled children yet somehow they convinced many, including some who hang out on left leaning boards their real concern is Ukraine assistance,  yet they are not pro Russia?

Wow the gop are masters at messaging.
