Chuck, for many years, no one cares what you do, what you think, we just want you out.

[joepowell]

So glad he will be out of power next month

[eventu]

Please... SHUT IT DOWN and save the USA billions of Dollars !

[RJRobertson-fdxy]

(What a 3yr old). Oh, a government shutdown. If only we could be so fortunate...

[charlottemiller]

Chuck, it’s time for you to retire. Get the heck out of there. I don’t wanna hear you no more.

[dantown]

$36 trillion of federal debt. This is how it happened.

[JK-thxb]

And that concerns us how? Government does not work anyway. Shut it down. See if we loose sleep.

[michaelleonard]

I am sure people could wait a month till Trump gets into office. Hold on America we will be rewarded.

[joannemsarlo]

Biden is going to give us one last screw and NOT SIGN IT

[nicklongo]

Shut the government down until Trump takes office especially if any other countries are in that bills stop wasting money on illegal immigrants to

[tiatopolski]

Well when you wait all year to pass bills that’s what happens people. Common sense there is none in the present administration

[OReyesNY]

Wait, so now they care didn’t FEMA spend their budget on the migrant crisis

[franklivingston]

Shut the damn government down! No more CR.

[scroogerocks]

Yall could have helped Americans instead of Zelenskyy - SHUT IT DOWN!!!! NIH does not need funding!!! They don’t know how to budget and that’s on them not the taxpayer!!

[robgeis]

Shut it down and get rid of Schumer and his chronies.

One Annual Budget nothing else.
The Weaponization of Taxation Regardless of which party. Enacting taxation then giving “tax breaks and credits’ to some is weaponization.

The Federalist Papers. Author: James Madison

“The apportionment of taxes on the various descriptions of property is an act which seems to require the most exact impartiality; yet there is, perhaps, no legislative act in which greater opportunity and temptation are given to a predominant party to trample on the rules of justice.”

[robertlaurent]

That's a sign of a bad a no-good house speaker and a disgrace to New York and his people and the world

[denniskimpton]

Close it down little buddy you're getting primary do you know that right😂😂😂😂

[shawnkauffeld]

What pork garbage is in it that your not telling us about. including billions for DEI

[pedroparra]

I don’t need my government “investing in me”, I need my government to stop giving my tax dollars away for their pet projects and illegal immigrants. Government doesn’t need to give BILLIONS in “loan guarantees” to corporations or be involved in ANY WAY with business other than to reduce regulations. How many billions did they give Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, etc? My government needs to live within their means, provide military protection against our adversaries and keep crime under control.
