“Patriot” gets a $10,000 bonus. This is what the President of the United States proposed this Monday. Donald Trump pays tribute to air traffic controllers working without pay during 40-day government shutdown.
“All air traffic controllers must go back to work now!” President Trump said on his social networks. “Those who don’t will receive a significant pay cut. I recommend that the air traffic controllers, who are great patriots and did not miss a day of work due to the travesty of the Democratic government shutdown, receive a bonus of $10,000 each for their service to our country.”
On the other hand, “To those of you who complained and took time off when we all knew you would be paid your full salary, I am not happy with you. You did not help America against attacks by Democrats whose sole purpose was to harm our country. At least in my opinion. There will be a negative stain on your record. If you wish to retire in the near future, do so without hesitation and without any payment or compensation! You will soon be replaced by true patriots who will do a better job.” We are currently acquiring the latest generation of the best equipment in the world. ”
“The previous administration wasted billions of dollars fixing outdated junk. They had no idea what they were doing! Again, God bless you, our great American patriots! I won’t be able to send the money fast enough! Everyone else, go to work now,” the president continued.
Senate agreement
The US president therefore takes it for granted that a shutdown of his government is being thwarted. In fact, Senate Republicans reached an agreement this Sunday night with a group of eight Democratic senators, adding 60 votes to make it 40, paving the way for an end to a shutdown that has already lasted 40 days. The deal is tailored to the White House and must pass the Senate before being sent to the House.
In the first of a series of necessary preliminary votes Sunday night, the Senate moved toward approving federal funding, voting 60-40 to extend the Affordable Care Act’s funding deadline, which is set to expire Jan. 1.
Final approval could be delayed by several days if Democrats object and delay the process. The deal is dividing the party. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) opposed it.
