VOL REP PA's Must See Political Talk Show for the 12th Year SUNDAY MORNINGS 10:30 AM VOI REP Volpe Report DEMOCRATS PLAY POSSUM WITH THE ECONOMY f Barring any catastrophic occurrences between now and the end of the year, the historic 2025 government shutdown is likely to stand as the year's top story. The record shutdown caused financial stress for federal workers, who went without paychecks, stranded scores of travelers at airports and generated long lines at some food banks. The damage done to our economy will continue for months. This Sunday on the Volpe Report at 10:30a.m. on FOX 56, U.S. Representative Dan Meuser (R-9th), will discuss his party's position on the shutdown. In the final analysis, eight Democratic Senators finally switched their votes and the Motion for Cloture, which ends debate, aka the Filibuster, passed by the narrowest of margins, 60-40. The legislation was sent back to the House, where it passed, 222-209. The resolution is only good through January. All the Democrats came away with was a Senate commitment to bring health care up again next month. However, House Speaker Mike Johnson has gone on the record, saying he will not bring it up in the House. This suggests they got nothing, and caused all that pain anyway. Maybe, as some have suggested, the Democrats did accomplish something. They have set back any economic recovery well into next year, which conveniently gives them an issue for next years mid-terms. The voters will decide at what cost.
