Democrats Willing To Shut Down Government Over $9 Billion In Cuts To Foreign Aid And PBS
Is this the hill they want to die on?
Virginia Democrat on possible shutdown: ‘It’s time to stand up for the American people’
Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-Va.) said he supports Democrats’ threats to shut down the government if Republicans proceed with a planned rescissions package, saying his party should use all the leverage they can to prevent cuts to previously approved funding.
“I say it’s time to stand up for the American people,” Subramanyam said in an interview on NewsNation’s “The Hill Sunday,” when asked what he thinks about a potential shutdown.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat or a Republican. I mean, I’m hearing from both sides. They’re fed up with this administration, and they want to see some changes, not just in this administration, but even in the Democratic Party,” he continued.
“And, so, yes, absolutely, the time to fight was yesterday,” he added.
Republicans are ramping up efforts to pass a rescissions package that President Trump requested last month, which includes more than $9 billion in funding cuts for foreign aid and public broadcasting programs.
So, what are these cuts? From that “Democrats’ threats” link
Democrats are referring to a package of funding cuts Senate Republicans hope to take up in the coming days that calls for $8.3 billion in cuts to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and foreign aid, and more than $1 billion in cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which provides some funding to NPR and PBS.
How is it standing up for the American people when $8.3 billion is for USAID, meaning the money goes to foreign nations?
Also, why is any money going to USAID? I thought that was shut down? Also also, Dems are upset because USAID really ends up being a slush fund, as the appropriation ends up being spread to friendly NGOs who take their cut to do nothing but give some money to other NGOs/companies (and lots goes back into Democrats’ coffers), and a whopping 12% ends up being used as actual aid.
But, hey, if Democrats really want to shut down the government over this, have at it. This won’t look good.

Here is the sad fact. These people sold their souls to the devil for money. Every bill they sign into law is about money laundering cash back into their own pockets. This is why the fanatical response.
