The chairman of the Senate Minister, Chuck Schumer, DN.Y., said during a floor speech before the law was published publicly that the GOP leaders should not expect to aid Democrats to advance legislation that they have not negotiated in a non -partisan way.
“You can try to play the guilt game, but your actions tell a different story. Your actions clearly show that you want to close things because you don’t want to negotiate with Democrats,” said Schumer. “And it is more than that. It means that Republicans do not want to help the American people with the crisis that they have created to increase people’s costs, especially their health costs.”
The majority leader of the Senate, John Thune, Rs.d., said that the draft law on Stopgap editions that the government would run by November 21 are needed to give the legislators more time to develop the final, non-partisan versions of the dozen year-round financing laws.
