CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 18, 2025
IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS THERE WILL ANOTHER OF THOSE PHONEY GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNS UNLESS REPUBLICANS BOW TO DEMOCRAT DEMANDS TO SPEND MORE MONEY WE DON’T HAVE AND BORROW US FURTHER INTO DEBT.
ALREADY THE DEMOCRAT LEADERS IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE ARE SAYING ANY SHUTDOWN WILL BE THE PRESIDENT’S FAULT BECAUSE HE WON’T NEGOTIATE WITH THEM.
HOW MANY TIMES MUST WE WATCH THIS POLITICAL BAD THEATER BEFORE THE PEOPLE CRY “ENOUGH” AND “LOWER THE DEBT.” IT’S 38 TRILLION AND COUNTING, GREATER THAN THE ECONOMIES OF ALL OTHER NATIONS. AS LONG AS CONGRESS – AND THAT INCLUDES SOME REPUBLICANS – CONTINUE TO SPEND OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY IT WILL GET EVEN WORSE.
HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON SAYS DEMOCRATS ARE MAKING AN UNWISE BET THAT A SHUTDOWN WILL BENEFIT THEIR SIDE. HE MAY BE RIGHT, BUT THE MEDIA WILL PLAY THEIR USUAL ROLE, SHOWING CLOSED PARKS AND INTERVIEW AN ELDERLY PERSON WORRIED SHE WON’T GET HER SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK. AFTER THE DRAMA ENDS, ALL MONEY WILL BE RESTORED, AS ALWAYS. A CONVENTION OF STATES TO TURN OFF THE SPENDING SPIGOT AND TERM LIMIT THE SPENDERS MAY BE THE ONLY ANSWER. I’M CAL THOMAS.
