Скачать или смотреть How Democrats Can Get PLAYED in the Government Shutdown: The Rescissions Trap

Hiding in the background of the government shutdown fight is a major issue: the threat of rescissions. Trust in government, and between the parties, is at an all-time low. Consider hardening republican rhetoric as the shutdown drags on, including Speaker Johnson’s promise to continue using rescissions. How can democrats trust republicans (or President Trump) unless there’s a legal lock preventing them from reneging later?

But the public glosses over the term “rescissions,” so how can democrats ensure that any budget deal coming out of the shutdown stays in place? I argue the messaging is simple and can be woven into their demands for extension of Obamacare subsidies and rollback of Medicaid cuts. Watch to see how democrats can save core benefits of federal spending without losing them to Trump rescissions. If a shutdown deal omits serious rescission constraints, it’s essentially a trap. Empty promises waiting to be reversed.
