Nearly 3:00 pm on October 30, 2025...

...with about nine hours until October 31, 2025. Then there is another 24 hours until November 1, 2025.

The current fiscal year has been alive about 30 days. Americans are waiting to live their lives because of the delay in Washington, DC. The problems the USA faces today are enormous. The American people are expecting Washington, DC to work. They want every Representative and Senator doing their job to solve the problems they face. The work to solve the problems of the American people is not being conducted. 

The USA House is dismissed from work. The government is shutting down more and more everyday. I believe that is the desire of the Republican Party. Why is the USA House of Representatives being paid? They have dismissed the problems Americans are facing as important. The importance of American concerns have been dismissed and so the pay checks of the USA House should be dismissed as important.

The government shut down should be effecting the USA Legislation as much as the people of the USA. The Republicans are blaming the Democrats for a government shut down. There is no blaming the Democrats if an entire legislative house is on dismissal of their responsibility. The USA House is NOT solving the problems of the USA. The continuing resolution the USA House passed is hurting Americans. The only people seeing that as important are a group of Democrats demanding attention to the budget that is currently victimizing the American people.

The continuing resolution passed by the Republican majority is victimizing the American people. There is blame. There is plenty of blame to go around as the victimization continues to grow to more and more people. This is not a difficult issue, the USA legislature should be working today to negotiate the future of the American people in a way that is predictable and measurable. To simply decide that the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid is not worth the paper it is printed on and then to completely defund those measures is a victimization of the people of the USA that will result in their illness and death. There are many aspects of the health care law that protects American lives such as preventive care. All that is important and not simply the glib idea that emergency rooms can provide care to the uninsured. Seeking to place American health care at the Emergency Room destroys the fundamental nature of the American health care paradigm based in timely preventive care to cut the cost of neglected people with enormous problems requiring extensive stays in hospitals, etc. These parameters are recognized and accepted as the best health care for the people that require it.

The Republicans are cutting off the lifeline to millions of Americans by defunding Medicaid and eliminating financial support for health care insurance decisions. The Republicans are making health care decisions for the American people instead of their personal physicians. Not only that, but, the continued belligerence of the Republicans will be costing Americans the simple nutrition they and their families need to require health care. The SNAP benefits needed by millions of American children is ending because the funding is not available today. This is a huge problem facing Americans as they seek food banks to live and the food banks are defunded. 

The resolution by Republicans is to pull the plug. The Republicans want the change of the future to happen now regardless of the neglect of the American people and the children in need. That is not governance. That is victimization. The people need a governance that examines the change needed for the future and to act on it. What the people do not need is an undermining of their ability to cope with inflation and choices that are all wrong. There should be no choices to make when it comes to eating vs healthcare. There should be no choices that dictate adverse outcomes. Those are not choices, those are creating a victimization of the American people they never asked for nor agreed were FAIR.

The Republican continuing resolution is UNFAIR to the people of this great country and the Congress needs to return to resolve the problems Americans face without first victimizing them as if they need a bandaid torn off their conscious in order to see their way forward. That is a strategy that is permission to create victims and then look the other way. The American people don't need a strategy, they need answers and the continued neglect by Republicans to even identify the needs of the people is what has the government continuing it's advance to failure.
