Government shutdown delays jobs report. What data economists are tracking instead

Go look at the thread! They even ADMITTED that the DEM's want US Tax money for illegals and if they did not get that they would/did not vote to keep the Government open!.....

So it's seems you might just be unable to understand fact.
Democrats want to spend $1.5 trillion on healthcare.

99.7% on Americans and legal noncitizens.

0.3% on illegals (who will get the same healthcare they already get)

Framing that as Democrats want free healthcare for illegal aliens is disingenuous at best.
 
So maybe the dems should just leave it down.

Yeah. There is no upside to cooperating with Republicans. None.

They have complete power over the government. The Democrats should just fold their arms, sit back and not budge on anything. Let the Republicans kill the filibuster, and pass all the legislation they want and make all the cuts they want, and then face the full blowback of the American people.

Because remember, the Republicans were going to do all this anyway. At least the Democrats will not have their fingerprints on the murder weapon like they always try to do whenever they go along to get along with Republicans.

I don't see an upside to opening the government under any circumstances at all.

It would be funny.
 
Since Trump fired the people who gave accurate reports, I don't expect much anyway. Pretty soon they'll stop posting them altogether
 
Trump's economy is so bad, he's using the shutdown as an excuse to hide September's job numbers from the public.


You know, the cool thing is...even since TACO cancelled the monthly reports to go to quarterly is..."other" organizations can post their numbers and he wont be able to dispute them...even if really crappy.

Numbers/data will still be published...and he wont have any control over that or anything to counter it 😁 I'm starting to like his "strategy."
 
That was from before many of his tariffs kicked in.
And a lot of the business investment was an attempt to beat the tariffs. Which is how some companies managed to keep prices down through the 2nd quarter and in to the 3rd.
 
I hope he uses the shutdown to fuk the Democrats more. He told you, if you were listening, that this would happen while he restructures the economy to favor US trade more than in the past. But you go on acting surprised which only demonstrates your lack of attention.
Who do you think is surprised that Trump is a complete f*** up?

Wait, are you telling us that you want hospitals to turn away emergency room patients?
 
We are now voting on whether we should fund Bureau of Labor Statistics, can't I get a rollcall of votes, we need 60 to fund BLS. How say you?

Why are you TRYING to avoid the debate? We ARE NOT talking about turning away people at the ER ! We are talking about how the DEM's are shutting down the US Government , harming the US People, because the DEM's want to give US Tax dollars to criminals who have invaded America ! .....

Stick to this ! Don't go off on any tangents ! That just proves you are wrong!

I agree. The democrats always try to solve problems brought on by Republicans. The result is MAGA/Republicans never feel the true damage proposed by the GOP.

The cycle repeats. This is why dems were so pissed with Schumer back in March.

I would love for once to see dems just say hell no, period. Let's watch the republican clown show solve their own problems.

That is a total fabrication. The Dems ARE NOT trying to get tax payer funded healthcare for migrants as part of a shutdown deal.....they simply aren't. Stop spreading falsehoods.

First off, calm down buddy.

Second, it's not off topic. The claim from the right is that Democrats are shutting down to protect healthcare for illegal immigrants. You even admit this in your post. Medicaid covers emergency care for people regardless of immigration status.

So you don't want to pay for the emergency care of illegal immigrants.

The two options I see that accomplish this are:
1) Deny the emergency care
2) Make doctors provide the care and then don't pay them for it.

Do you have another proposal?
