EXCERPT:
SCHUMER: “OMB is the Office of Management Budget which determines the spending, and they could cut off anything they want simply by saying it’s not essential. So day two, SNAP, food for poor kids, not essential. Day four, mass transit, New York City subway and subways all over, not essential. Day seven, Medicaid, not essential. People don’t need Medicaid. They should get their own healthcare. And this would happen over and over and over again and there’s no check. The biggest problem is that it has been determined that the courts have no say, and the only say is the executive Branch. Now, in the old days when there was a shutdown, they’d work it out, but this is a different, horrible kettle of fish. They hate the government. They want to shut down everything. You heard what Musk said, $2 trillion. And so, this would have been so devastating. And here’s the second part that’s maybe just as bad. There’s no exit strategy. How do you get out of a shutdown? Guess who determines it? Trump, Musk, DOGE, they’re the only ones. And one of the Republican senators told one of the Democratic senators, you get in this, we’re staying in for six month, nine months, a year until we decimate the entire federal government.”
