CSPAN Caller:
I’m a retired federal worker, and I hear people talking about the President needing to get involved, and the Democrats are saying this, and Republicans are saying that.
This is the truth — the Democrats, and I’m a Democrat, are the ones that actually, on the Senate side, shut down the government. They did not vote for a continuing resolution, except for three of them.
One is the Senator from Pennsylvania, Fetterman, and all. So they have to get together and stop holding Americans hostage. We’re about to have people without food come November 1st, which is the end of this week — and that’s ridiculous. It is not worth it.
Plus, the health care companies have already said, “You’re way past the deadline for them to change their costs that they’re going to give out to the public for health care,” because November 1st is open season. So they need to get together.
I know they keep on saying the President needs to come back, but the power of the purse is with Congress, not the President. You all talk about this President being a king — but if you want him to solve this problem, you’re making him a king.
This has got to stop in America. I want the Democrats to fight, but I want them to fight in a negotiating way — like I did when I was a union president — versus sitting up here constantly bickering, and the Republicans bickering.
This has got to stop, and America has got to stop accepting it. That’s all I have to say.
