Here it is the Dems would rather allow fiery, horrible plane crashes than open up the government for business.

Question: What is so important that a leading political party is willing to sacrifice the lives of families and grandparents, having them die horribly, burning to death?

Answer: Benefits for illegal aliens that broke the law by coming here and continue to break the law by staying here!

How odd, while I was writing this article a helicopter crash happened near me, related?

Democrats are now claiming the welfare of illegal aliens is far more important than the safety of US citizen families, especially when those families are at the mercy of the pilot and traffic controller while in flight.  

Here are the facts: Washington, D.C. – October 11, 2025, In a revelation that's sent shockwaves through Capitol Hill and beyond, Democratic leaders are reportedly prepared to prolong the ongoing government shutdown for weeks, undeterred by mounting disruptions to air travel, delayed military paychecks, and widespread economic ripple effects.

According to anonymous party insiders cited by CNN, concessions won't come until public pressure becomes overwhelming—or, in stark terms, "planes are falling out of the sky."

The federal shutdown began at midnight on October 1 after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer blocked a bipartisan, short-term funding bill passed by the House. What started as a routine Continuing Resolution (CR) to avert fiscal cliffs has devolved into a high-stakes partisan battle, with Democrats demanding protections for healthcare programs—including emergency Medicaid services for illegal aliens—as a non-negotiable condition for reopening the government.

Republicans, in turn, decry the demands as an attempt to force taxpayer-funded benefits for "illegal aliens," framing the impasse as a reckless prioritization of special interests over national stability.

The shutdown's origins trace back to dueling proposals in Congress. The House, under Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), advanced a "clean" CR extending funding through November without additional Democratic riders. Schumer's rejection in the Senate triggered the lapse, marking the seventh failed vote on funding measures. Subsequent attempts, including a Republican-backed bill to exempt essential Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) workers from furloughs, have similarly stalled.

Democrats counter that the real obstruction lies with the GOP's insistence on excluding key provisions, such as extending Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies set to expire and maintaining emergency healthcare reimbursements for hospitals treating uninsured patients—a category that includes many illegal aliens.  

Schumer himself has pivoted blame to Johnson, accusing the Speaker of prioritizing a House recess over bipartisan talks. "Good Americans in your state will die. All because the Speaker chose to keep the House on vacation, rather than negotiate with Democrats and end their Trump shutdown," Schumer thundered this week. The "Trump shutdown" moniker nods to former President Donald Trump's vocal support for hardline fiscal conservatism, though White House officials have distanced themselves from direct involvement.

Here is the detailed information. Nowhere is the shutdown's toll more visceral than in the skies.

The FAA issued stark warnings on October 7:

"Nationwide disruptions" at key air traffic control centers in Chicago, Nashville, Houston, and Las Vegas, where furloughs and unpaid staff have led to chronic understaffing. Travelers report hours-long delays, with some flights grounded indefinitely—a far cry from the "essential" operations promised during past shutdowns.

One senior Democratic aide's off-the-record quip encapsulates the party's gambit:

"As long as public perception is in their favor, the party will not concede short of 'planes falling out of the sky.'"

The remark, leaked amid escalating GOP fury, has ignited a firestorm. House Republicans amplified it on X (formerly Twitter), posting, "Your safety is not Democrats’ priority. This behavior is disgusting and unacceptable!"

Vice President JD Vance lambasted the strategy on a recent podcast, calling it "taking our government hostage" to fund "benefits for illegal aliens." On X, conservative voices echo the sentiment: "Democrats are literally saying they won't end this government shutdown until 'planes [are] falling out of the sky' because of air traffic controller shortages THEY created," posted user @HouseGOP, garnering thousands of engagements. Another user,

@RealRawNews1 warned, "There's no way in the world I'd be stepping aboard an airplane right now," highlighting fears of overworked controllers.

For now, the skies serve as a grim metaphor for a divided Washington. Democrats' dug-in heels reflect a high-wire strategy: leverage the shutdown's pain to extract concessions on core issues like immigrant healthcare, even as the costs—financial, operational, and human—skyrocket. Republicans vow no surrender, but with planes idling on tarmacs and families grounded, the question hangs: How high must the stakes rise before someone blinks?

Final Word: Just think, the Democrats are willing to let good moms, dads, and their children die in horrible fiery airplane crashes so they can get funding for illegal aliens that broke the law by coming here and continue to break the law by staying here! Insanity!
