About this sermon
Lawmakers are telling their constituents to brace for a government shutdown. For some Americans, that could mean a few inconveniences, for others like the federal workforce and members of the US military that will mean continuing their work but not being paid. Monday morning, although Congress was closed for the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur, Speaker Kevin McCarthy came in and said he remains optimistic a deal can be made. Representative McCarthy says, "You have to keep the government open. I mean, if people want to close, the government only makes it weaker. Why would they want to stop paying the troops or stop paying the border agents or the coast guard? I don't understand how that makes you stronger." House Republicans are still deadlocked among themselves, unable to unify behind the proposal. Those close to the speaker are pitching a short term bill with deep cuts to spending, no additional funding for Ukraine, and immigration policy changes.
