Congress was in crisis mode Tuesday, trying to pass four short-term spending bills to keep some parts open.
Congress was in crisis mode Tuesday,"If the far-right extremists have their way and a short-term bill isn't passed, the government will shut down, jeopardizing America's public safety and national security," Gottheimer said.Gottheimer slammed those House Republicans who openly admit they won't support any bills to keep the government open that don't contain dramatic spending cuts.
"The ultra-right are going to hurt our veterans, military, children, families, seniors, and we can't afford that," Gottheimer said. According to the White House, a shutdown would mean at least 4 million federal workers won't get paid, food safety inspections could be delayed, and even cancer research could be stalled.checks would still go out, but no new cards would be issued, and some federal workers, like law enforcement officers and firefighters, would be faced with a tough decision.
"We're going to ask those guys to come to work and not receive a paycheck. I think that's a big ask, but you know what? They'll show up and continue to do the job they love," said Steve McConlogue of the New Jersey Professional Firefighters Association.
