As I've been clear, I oppose the existence of public employee unions as I believe that making huge financial contributions to the very people that you negotiate with is an inherent conflict of interest.
With that said, it's telling that the main federal employees union is calling for the DFL to pass the clear CR that they've voted against multiple times.
For all of the ASPL whining on social media about people losing SNAP benefits, I'd simply point out that the DFL voted against a bill that would fund SNAP and military salaries recently. When a bill needs 60 votes to pass, and the majority party doesn't have 60 votes, it's the minority party's responsibility if the bill doesn't pass.
The DFL completely owns this shutdown.

Your final sentence tells the tale. How often have we heard jerks like Schumer insist the GOP was holding the nation hostage for refusing to vote in favor of every pork heavy bill the Dems tried to pass? Clearly they are doing this now and for the very same reason...for the pork they want to add.
The whole P-BO care lie is at the root of this. The DFL foisted this huge steaming pile of crap on us, raised prices massively and imposed subsidies to hide the price increases assuming that they would be able to simply extend the subsidies whenever they wanted. They were wrong. The other pork is just extra crap.
