This Week in the World Affairs Brief
GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN A NEAR CERTAINTY THIS WEEKEND
The deadline to pass a funding bill is Saturday night, September 30. The various factions in the House are no closer to a suitable compromise than before and the Senate version of the funding bill is Democrat’s wish list that is unpalatable to conservatives in the House. We are going to see a shutdown starting on Sunday and next week there will be a full onslaught in the media against those “extreme” conservatives in the House that are holding things up. Good for those willing to fight for fiscal responsibility. We are at a breaking point in spending and illegal immigration and that’s worth shutting down the federal government for—though, as usual, they’ll do it in a way to create as much pain with the general public as possible to put pressure against anyone willing to fight for fiscal sanity. The contentious issues are Biden’s wide open immigration policies, literally allowing anyone breaking through the southern border to remain in the US, the Ukraine war funding, and the overall spending deficit. Conservatives want the border closed and illegals returned to Mexico, and the Democrats want it wide open. The US isn’t even close to a balanced budget so the conservatives are simply trying to reduce spending wherever they can, but especially in Ukraine.
