It's time to act! Democrats discuss Trump's budget blockade Some members of the Democratic Party are already running ahead of the locomotive. They won't gain control of the House and Senate until January, but some lawmakers are demanding that funding for the war on Iran be cut off now. The nearest leverage is December 11, when government funding expires. Congressman Ro Khanna proposed including a ban on military spending in the budget bill, and refused to support the document without this amendment. In general, another shutdown is coming. According to some Democrats, voters voted against the war, which hurt their wallets, so they can't spend billions more. As a historical example, they cite the 1973 congressional decision to cut off funding for the Vietnam War. However, the party leadership is cautious. Speaker-to-be Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer have so far avoided ultimatums. Democrats fear voters will hold them responsible for shutting down government agencies, making it difficult for a new majority to begin work. The leadership of the Democratic Party is not expected to cut corners, as stopping the work of the government is not profitable for anyone right now. Most likely, the matter will be reduced to budget negotiations, for example, on the timing of the funding extension, to return to the issue of military spending in the new Congress. - Let's make America understandable again support us.
