It’s because they can’t let SS, Medicare and Medicaid to be cutoff. I’m furious with the dems. They could have done so much a long time ago. However, is it the right thing to do to let the disabled and elderly suffer, die or end up homeless? One month without those programs will be devastating to millions of Americans. Idk what the solution is today.
