Every dime this shutdown costs belongs to Democrats

October 2, 2025

The Democrat shutdown is already racking up billions in costs for taxpayers, from back pay for furloughed workers, to interest penalties, to the massive drag on our economy. And every dime is being wasted because Democrats care more about showering illegal immigrants with taxpayer-funded handouts and appeasing their radical base than keeping the government open for hardworking Americans.

“House Democrats sold out working families to bankroll freebies for criminal illegal immigrants and appease their radical base. Every dime this shutdown costs belongs to them.” – NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella
