Whatever happens will happen WAY before the elections in November 2026.

Everyone with an IRA or 401k just lost 10% of their savings over the last 2 days with more to come.  Every homeowner's house is worth less than what it was a week ago.  Everything is going to get more expensive once the stuff currently on the shelf gets replaced.

Every American just got screwed, and there's no one to blame but Republicans so no one will come to Republicans' rescue.

And this is just the start of it.

If Schumer allowed the government shutdown to occur, the Republicans and main stream media would be blaming the Democrats right now.

At first I was mad at Schumer, but I heard his side, and I fumed, but I could not actually find a good argument against his position. The old dog played this right.

Two shitty options, but I think he chose the least bad of them.
