THANKS CHUCK SCHUMER! SCHUMER'S ATTEMPT TO DESTROY PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP'S PRESIDENCY AT OUR EXPENSE ? Democrats wanted this government shutdown from the start, holding Americans hostage for 43 days and getting NOTHING for their reckless games. The toll was massive: $7 billion economic hit in the first month; the travel industry lost $4 billion. 42 million SNAP recipients got only 65% of benefits; 100+ Head Start programs defunded. Federal Reserve data stalled; longer Medicare/Social Security waits; $15 billion in contracts frozen, hurting small businesses and contractors. Flight chaos: 13,000 controllers unpaid, leading to "sickouts," 10% capacity cuts, thousands of cancellations/delays. https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/13/politics/government-shutdown-ends-federal-workers-return?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_msn
