Dem Rep. Crow: A Shutdown Would Cost the American People Tens of Billions of Dollars, It’s Untenable

EXCERPT:

CROW: “McCarthy has created a situation where he might need Democratic votes to actually govern and get anything done. As far as I know, he hasn't come to Democrats to do that yet. You know, he -- he should actually come to us with a good faith agreement, a good faith offer to fund the government. And that would include disaster relief for states, including red states, by the way. You know, we -- we -- we don't care whether it's a red state or a blue state, we actually want to give relief to people and we want to govern. That is our policy, that is the right thing to do. And there are several states in the in the south in particular, that need this aid desperately. So disaster relief, Ukraine aid and making sure that we don't shut down, because shutdown would actually cost the American people tens of billions of dollars and it’s just untenable.”
