Democratic Party supporters have mostly condemned Senator Schumer for surrendering to the Republican threat to temporarily shut down the government (by not extending the debt limit) if Democrats didn't agree to the ransom the Republican demanded, which consisted of permanent harmful changes in laws. Since Republicans are trying to
[2/3] permanently destroy important parts of the government, it makes no sense to respond by approving that damage to avoid lesser damage. Make the Republicans eat the shutdown! I've suspected for years that part of the reason Schumer leads the Democratic Party is rich people's campaign support for various Democratic elected officials. But I can't cite any proof of that. However, Schumer said something that I think we should investigate: he said that Republicans would be able to use a
[3/3] temporary shutdown to destroy parts of the government. Before dismissing that as ridiculous, I'd like to see exactly hat he was referring to. It could conceivably be true: the shutdown could conceivably enable them to do other kinds of destruction with their Disgusting and Outrageous Government Evisceration. I would not take Schumer's word for that, but it may be true, so we should listen to what he means. The Project 2025 planners planned their destruction carefully.
