And hers. Quotations have never been so weak..
USA. The Democratic organization over the abyss? Key vote
When, early last week, the home of Representatives voted on a bill that guaranteed backing to the national government for six months, Republicans They trembled for all voicebecause the majority of them in the home are so insignificant that there is no area for even the slightest mistake. Mobilized Republicans and One vote of the Democratic organization congressman was enoughTo push the bill further.
The paper went to the legislature and all indicated that the Republicans would not repeat their success. Granted, in the 100-member legislature there are 53 votes but for procedural reasons The task must have had the support of as many as 60 senators.
Senator Chuck Schumer, Democratic leader in the SenateThe support the Republicans needed, he announced that this time the aid from the Democratic organization would not come. This meant that The Americans must prepare for ‘government shutdown’, i.e. "closure of government", which in practice means the cessation of many offices and institutions.
Officials have compulsory leave, They don't get paid. (it is paid to them after reopening the government, although the co-workers of the national institutions already cannot number on the return of lost earnings).
They work, but without pay, workers critical of the functioning of the state. Even soldiers on vacation ‘shutdown’ do not receive their benefits.

Democrats betrayed voters? Chack Shumer's problems

USA. Betrayal or choice of lesser evil?
Chuck Schumer and Democratic organization Senators who voted like Republicans explain that in this game There was no good choice. and that the ‘shutdown’ would not be less, and more options for action by Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
They could sooner liquidate national institutions and fire officials due to the fact that at the time of the “closure of government” the president can make his own decisions About which national office will operate and which will not.
It would only exacerbate the chaos already caused by Musko and his people who lead mass layoffs in national bureaucracy. Many American families would suffer, explained by Schumer group members.
