Washington, D.C. – Mere days after Chairman Tom Cole warned that “the longer it goes on, the more damage will be done,” Senator Chuck Schumer took to the press to brag, “every day gets better for us.” For who, exactly? Certainly not for the service members and military families preparing to miss a paycheck, the air traffic controllers grappling with understaffed offices, the seniors who lost access to healthcare services, the small business owners now weighing layoffs after disrupted contracts, the communities facing delayed fire prevention work, or the mothers and infants whose WIC benefits were put at risk.
