With only approx nine legislative days before the end of the US gov't fiscal year, it is impossible to pass the appropriations bills necessary to keep the gov't open without a clean resolution to extend funding for a short time.
The Republicans have the White House, the Senate and Congress. They have been in control since Trump took power. If the US gov't is heading fo a shutdown, this is because this is where the Republicans are leading the nation to.
Everywhere US citizens look prices are dramatically rising for food, energy, healthcare, housing , edication & childcare. Trump promised to lower prices on Day One but the "big ugly bill" and tariffs have made everything worse for the average US citizen.
Trump talks about using a rarely used legislative tool called a pocket recission which even some Republicans call unconstitutional.
Everywhere US citizens look prices are dramatically rising for food, energy, healthcare, housing , edication & childcare
in the first six months of Trump’s second term in office (January through June 2025), inflation edged upward by an average of 2.6%. In April, a universal 10–25% import tariff sparked immediate pressure on consumer prices and contributed to an inflation rate of about 2.7% in June, up from 2.4% in May.
You call that dramatically rising prices .
This is dramatically rising prices ,
Inflation rose sharply during Joe Biden’s presidency, especially in the first two years. In 2021, the CPI climbed to 7.0% by December and continued to rise the following year, It peaked at 9.1% in June 2023—the highest levels in four decades.
Not another shutdown scare tactic by democrats. Nothing bad ever happens. Ever.
The last US government shutdown occurred in early 2019, lasting 35 days from December 22, 2018, to January 25, 2019, during the Trump administration. This was the longest government shutdown in US history, caused by disagreements over funding for a border wall.
Key facts about the 2018-2019 shutdown:
Duration: 35 days.
Start Date: December 22, 2018.
End Date: January 25, 2019.
Cause: A dispute between Congress and the Trump administration over funding for a border wall led to the impasse.
Impact: Essential government services were affected, including National Parks and Smithsonian museums, which closed or had reduced services. Federal workers were furloughed, causing anxiety about lost pay and delays in bills.
Economic Cost: The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the shutdown reduced economic output by about $11 billion, with $3 billion of that never being recovered.
Shut it down please!!!!! Then every morning Trump should remind the public that the sun still came up even without the federal government. This should be the basis for massive federal cuts of non-essential federal employees and programs. He could leave it shut down for the rest of his term. Let all non-essential federal employees go.

.... strong chance you will get your wish.
I guess you do not care about all of the Federal employees who will not get paid and all of the Federal gov't services that will be paused indefinitely.
Should a shut down occur on the Republican watch, they are politically doomed in the next election.
Trump will likely take advantage of this shut down to govern even more as an authoritarian.
The US Gov't will lose billions in revenue making the $37T US debt even more unmanageable.

Trumpy is looking for any excuse to claim an "emergency" so he can indefinitely postpone any future elections
Schumer presses Trump to negotiate with Democrats as government shutdown deadline nears
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer of New York urged President Donald Trump to meet with Democrats to avoid a government shutdown at the end of this month.
Congressional Democrats have made health care a red line in negotiations, but Republicans appear unlikely to yield to their demands.
Trump said Saturday that he would “love” to meet with Democrats in Congress, but said he did not think “it’s going to have any impact.”

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer on Sunday urged President Donald Trump to meet with Democrats to strike a deal to avoid a government shutdown as the funding deadline looms.
“I hope and pray that Trump will sit down with us and negotiate a bipartisan bill,” Schumer said on CNN’s “State of the Union,” days before federal funding is set to expire on Sept. 30.
Schumer’s push comes after the Senate last week rejected both Republican and Democratic proposals to keep the government funded at least temporarily, raising the likelihood of a shutdown.
?
As the threat of a shutdown intensifies, both parties are eager to paint the other party as being responsible if funding ultimately runs out.
“It’s the Republicans shutting down the government first,” Schumer insisted on Sunday.
Congressional Democrats have made health care a red line in negotiations.
Specifically, lawmakers are demanding that any funding legislation include an extension of the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced tax credits, which are currently set to expire at the end of this year.
Republicans, however, appear unlikely to yield to Democrats’ demands, underscoring the stalemate.
Schumer in March voted with Republicans to avert a government shutdown, sparking strong backlash from his party.
This time, however, he appears to be holding the line.
But on Sunday, when pressed multiple times whether he would ultimately vote against a GOP funding bill if Republicans do not negotiate, Schumer avoided a direct answer. “We hope it doesn’t come to that,” he said.
Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, also of New York, on Saturday sent a letter to Trump urging him to meet with Democrats “to reach an agreement to keep the government open.”
Trump said late Saturday that he would “love” to meet with Democrats in Congress, but added he did not think “it’s going to have any impact.”
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., for his part, insists that the upper chamber can pass legislation to avert a shutdown — without concessions.
“All it takes is a handful of Democrats to join the Republicans in keeping the government open and funded, and to ensure we have a chance to get the appropriations process completed in the way it was intended,” Thune said last week, according to the Associated Press.
Any legislation will need 60 votes to pass, and with Republicans’ razor-thin majority, some Democrats would need to vote with Republicans to clear that threshold.
Both chambers are scheduled to be on recess this week, putting further pressure on lawmakers to strike a deal on a tight timeline.

.... in a crucial Senate vote, the Republicans are 16 votes short of funding the gov't funding bill. Speaker Johnson has cancelled the two critical days of work on Sept 29 and 30 in the House at the direction of Trump.
Unless there is a major reversal, the Republicans seem to want a shutdown.
For the average American, healthcare and economic security is in peril.

Well, we had an election and the voters rejected liberalism.
Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.
Shut it down!!!!! Shut it down!!!!! Shut it down!!!!! Shut it down!!!!!
.... good chance you will get your wish. Then you can watch a new form of Republican cruelty unleashed upon the American public.
Plus a good chance the bond rating agencies will further devalue the credit worthiness of the USA , making the out of control US debt cost even more to service.

That's not the first time you've made that prediction.

LOL!!!! give me a break. I've lived through numerous government shutdowns. If not for them keeping WE THE PEOPLE out of our national parks 99.5% of Americans wouldn't care even the slightest bit.
A favorite resort of the foreign residents of Yokohama during the summer months is the island of Enoshima. It is about twenty miles away, and is a noted place of pilgrimage for the Japanese, on account of certain shrines that are reputed to have a sacred character. Doctor Bronson arranged that his party should pay a visit to this island, as it was an interesting spot, and they could have a glimpse of Japanese life in the rural districts, and among the fishermen of the coast. "But as we are in for it," he continued, "we must make the best of the situation, and hope to go through in safety. Many a strong ship lies at the bottom of the sea, where she was sent by just such a storm as we are about to pass through, and many another has barely escaped. I was once on a ship in the China seas, when the captain told the passengers that it would be a miracle if we remained half an hour longer afloat. But hardly had he done speaking when the wind fell, the storm abated, and we were safe. The typhoon is to these waters what the hurricane is to the West Indies; it is liable to blow at any time between April and September, and is often fearfully destructive. OPIUM-PIPE. OPIUM-PIPE. "Surely your ladyship knows Dr. Bruce!" Hetty said with a vivid splash of colour on either cheek "A little time ago I understood that Dr. Bruce----" "I require that everywhere a strict investigation shall take place into the conduct of the soldiers with regard to the life and property of the civilian population. "Where were they buried?" They all pressed forward. "Count out. That's the only fair way," shouted the boys in the center. "Now, there's three loaves o' bread for the Sargint," said Harry, laying them down on a newspaper. "There's three for the Corpril; there's three for me; there's three for you." "'T?un't peas, thick 'un," Vennal would break in uproariously, "it's turnips—each of 'em got a root like my fist." At this moment of perplexity, some medicine, that she had obtained from Edith, occurred to her, and, with a feeling of confidence, and almost of extacy, she took a phial from a shelf in a cupboard where she had placed it, and, pouring out the contents in a large spoon, hesitated an instant ere she administered it. "Let me see," said she; "surely it was a large spoonful Edith told me to give—yet all that was in the phial doesn't fill the spoon. Surely I can't be wrong: no—I remember she said a large spoonful, and we didn't talk of any thing else—so I must be right." But Mary still hesitated, till, hearing a sudden noise in the court-yard, which, she conjectured, was her mistress returned, and as the child was getting worse every moment, she leaned back its head, and, forcing open its mouth, compelled the patient, though with difficulty, to swallow its death. The draught was taken; the rigid muscles relaxed, and for a minute the child lay motionless in her lap; but in an instant after, Mary could scarcely suppress a shriek at the horrid sight that met her gaze. The eyes opened, and glared, and seemed as if starting from the head—the fair face and the red lips, were blue, deepening and deepening, till settling in blackness—the limbs contracted—the mouth opened, and displayed a tongue discoloured and swollen—then came a writhing and heaving of the body, and a low, agonized moan: and, as Mary looked almost frantic at this dreadful sight, Edith's words, when she had given her the phial, "that there was enough there to kill," suddenly occurred to her—and then, too, came, with a dreadful distinctness, the remembrance of the true directions which Edith had given. It was nearly noon the next day, when the under-sheriff entered the room to ask if their opinions were yet unanimous. The galleyman still refused. "That for ye, coward," said Tyler, striking him with the flat side of his bared weapon. Oakley aimed another thrust which was again turned aside, and the smith, now flinging down his sword, seized upon his right hand and wrenched the dagger from its grasp. After a short struggle, Oakley fell heavily on the pavement with the blood streaming from his mouth and nostrils. HoME萝拉泷泽第4部资源
