There are 60 votes required in the Senate for debate to end and the budget bill to be passed. The current makeup of the house is 53 R, 45 D, and 2 I.
This means Republicans NEED to engage with and cooperate with democrats. They have refused to.
I don’t know why gov shutdown is GOP’s fault, and it is dem’s filibusters that caused “votes majority” not pass the spending bill. It is a seriously undemocratic move, and you guys are saying GOP is against democracy? HYPOCRISY!
The fact that the most cited reason for the disagreement is that the GOP doesn't want rich people to get a tax credit so they just want to remove the whole system is so ironic
