‘People are really hurting’: From airports to grocery stores, shutdown leaves Americans scrambling

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, told reporters Friday that the “wheels came off” in compromise talks with Democrats.
There IS NO compromising with Democrats.
He told senators to remain in Washington and available for votes this weekend. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Democrats would agree to end the shutdown in exchange for one more year of enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies — an attempt to further pressure the GOP to make a deal.
No deal. Hold fast, Thune!
The uncertainty over when the shutdown might end has led to deepening concerns about damage it could do to the overall economy — with one of Trump’s top economic officials sounding the alarm on Friday. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said on Fox Business that the economic impact of the shutdown is “far worse” than initially expected “because it’s gone on for so long.”
Blame it on the Democrats that caused it.
“If we go another month or so, then who knows how bad the economy could be this quarter,” he said.

I don't think anyone will be flying home for Christmas! Thanksgving will be bad enough!
 
Thats what happens when the dirty filthy no good Democrats use people as leverage. Boy,.....gonna be a whole lot of people HATING the Democrats that's for sure. They can only hide the truth just so long.
They've lost what negotiating leverage they had.
 
Why do you feel the taxpayers owe you housing, food and healthcare? You must want it for yourself. Don’t give me the “I care about others” claptrap. This is about you wanting others to support you. Why? Did you not save enough for retirement?
They feel the taxpayers owe them all this because they are communists.
 
A measure of a country is how they take care of their elderly
I am elderly and doing just fine.
and their poor.
I am not poor. I didn't spend my life depending on government programs or hanging out on the street doing drugs.
You and your fellow cultist MAGATs have failed and failed miserably. It’s gone beyond politics.
I am not a Democrat. Neither is Trump. Neither is Teflon Don.
It’s now about core values. You have none.
You can't blame your problems on anybody else, Dumber.
As for me, I’ll be comfortable the rest of my life.
BULLSHIT! Your posts give you away.
 
“If we go another month or so, then who knows how bad the economy could be this quarter,” he said.
The economy is only cursorily affected by a government shutdown. The world keeps rolling. The economy will be fine, just as it is doing just fine.

Nobody should ever have been allowed to become totally dependent upon government handouts, which is the result of people falling for the "FREE STUFF" call and voting for it.

Agreed. My business is doing pretty good.
 
The Head MAGAt and his ass-kissing, brown-nosed sycophants believe it's "My way or the highway". Trump doesn't give a fuck about the harm he's doing to middle and lower income Americans. All he cares about is his bank account and his personal glorification.

Trump is not a Democrat, Sybil.
 
You heartless cocksuckers make virtue signaling sound like it’s a fucking sin. It’s not, cunt.
It is.
You MAGAT cultists will punish 100 people for fear that one will sneak through. Here’s news, bitch.
Yup. That's Democrats all right.
Corporate America and the 1% ers are fucking you so hard in the ass that you’re bleeding from your ears. But you’re too fucking stupid to realize it.
Did you know that any corporation only succeeds because it satisfies their customers, Dumber?
I said I’m comfortable, illiterate cunt. On my pension and social security, I don’t worry about my financial situation. I’ll be good the rest of my life.
You are lying again. Your own posts prove it. You depend on government handouts.
 
I’m 71. I’ve paid a lifetime in taxes, cunt.
So what? You aren’t paying much now so all your crowing about paying more falls on deaf ears

You know your argument is weak which is why you have resorted to name calling and swearing
