Скачать или смотреть National Taxpayers Union leader says US will likely see a shutdown

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill have until the end of the month to pass a funding bill or face a partial government shutdown.

The House has already passed a continuing resolution to buy some time, but Senate Democrats have been a roadblock for that path.

Brandon Arnold, who is the executive vice president of The National Taxpayers Union, said “it’s more and more likely” that the U.S will see a shutdown.

“Democrats are really digging in on this and they view this as their only opportunity to push back on the Trump administration agenda,” Arnold told The National News Desk’s Jen Jeffcoat during a one-on-one interview on Thursday. “And by the way, the White House significantly upped the ante last night by saying they’re going to fire massive amounts of federal workers if the shutdown actually materializes. So, this thing just keeps getting juicer and juicer. Get out your popcorn because I think we’re going to see a pretty dramatic event.”
