Coons warns of government shutdown: We will ‘scare the hell out of you’
by Julia Shapero - 07/21/23 4:21 PM ET

Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) warned on Friday that a government shutdown appears likely, as Congress faces down a September deadline to pass its annual spending bills.

“We are going to scare the hell out of you,” Coons said at the Aspen Security Forum, alongside Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and James Risch (R-Idaho). “We’re really good at that.”

“On the debt ceiling, on default, we came right up to the end,” he continued. “We’re gonna have a government shutdown because we’re gonna fight between the House and Senate about appropriations. Maybe, I sure hope not. We keep coming right up close.”

Lawmakers have until the end of September to pass the 12 annual appropriations bills to fund the government, but with the August recess approaching, they are staring down a tight deadline.

Most evidence yet that our government's approach to control is via fear and intimidation.  They now admit it.

1789 won't get here soon enough in this country for me.  It's time for some pay back.

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

Well, at least he's admitting the intent of Dems' shtick.

Quite honestly, Coons, it scares the hell out of me when democrats are running the government, so having it shut down, not so much.
