Democrat Fails, Hypocrisy, and Lies

Democrats Are Blocking Pay For Hardworking Americans

Rapid Response

Democrats have held the government hostage for 15 days on behalf of illegal aliens, voting nine times to block pay for our troops and benefits for hardworking Americans.

Now they’re trying to stop President Trump from using funds to make sure our brave servicemembers get paid during their shutdown.
 


 

Americans across the country are facing the consequences of the Democrat shutdown:

  • "The federal program will [soon] run out of money... that means tens of thousands cutting back on meals and other vital expenses to make their money last until the government is up and running again."
  • The shutdown is "impacting not only peoples' wallets, but local businesses that are starting to see fewer customers — making more wonder when, and if, they'll get their next paycheck."
  • "The effects of the government shutdown are being felt by many air travelers as delays and staffing shortages reach air traffic control nationwide."
  • TSA agents "feeling like pawns right now" due to their government shutdown.
  • In Texas, the line at the food bank is wrapped around the building with military families who have no idea when they'll get their next paycheck.
  • "Some of these [federal] workers work right here in Chattanooga, and face the risk of missing an upcoming paycheck."
  • "Millions of people who rely on food stamps and family aid through programs like SNAP and WIC could be at risk of losing assistance due to the government shutdown."
  • “My main concern is those essential needs going unmet: food, healthcare, bills, lights, water, gas in the car...”

Every day this shutdown drags on, Democrats prove they care more about criminal illegal aliens than the  American people.
