Want deep spending cuts as well, the house of republicans have already passed several bills to fund parts of the government, that however would not stop a shutdown because there is no hope that the bills would pass in the senate, and the Us Government has started notifying of federal words that is shutdown uh is uh imminent. A government funding in the us ends early sunday, if Congress Fails to come up with the clear plan, federal agencies will run out of money and that would affect hundreds of thousands of workers halting a wide range of services. Joining us on tonight spotlight, we have daniel plat, staff writer at executive intelligence review joining us from los angeles, and international from the International Action center, Sarah Flouders joining us from new york, welcome to the program, to the both of you, lets start off with mr. Platt in la, two days. The government shut down with no signs of deal uh, does congress have path to avoid the shutdown . There is always a path, the question is whether the powers that be want that path to be used, there i think it is of important to remember that much of what goes on in the us congress is theater. There was a study that was conducted in 2014 by the prestigious American University princeton where they found that the United States is not in fact a democracy. Oligarchy, its a nation governed by a small group of of wealthy, business interests, financial interests and so on. The u. S. Economy is in serious trouble, its bankrupt, they are trying to preserve bubble of speculation, which we cannot be saved, and theres going to be lot of hardship for the american people, and this this government shut down provides a scape goat source where they can say every fine, biodinomics would be considered success if it were not for the government, down, so whether or not they choose to to solve the problem is an open question, but there are ways to solve it. Sarah flowers, how likely is it that there will be a shutdown come monday morning in the us . Well, there have been many shutdowns in the past, and its true, this is absolutely theater on the part of both republicans and democrats. It is to intentionally on the part of both parties, create hardships for working people, for hundreds. Of thousands of federal government workers for pension and Social Security checks, for essential programs for everything from libraries to parks that get shut down, it of course never shuts down the us military, doesnt shut down any one of 800 military bases around the world or the aircraft carriers, the submarines stop their wars for one, but it does impact working people profound in the millions and the family. So that is who its intended actually to impact, do they care if they create hardships for working people . No, they dont at all, theyll actually save some money doing this, and that is what is the cruelest part of this theater. Daniel, the american governments finances arent in good shape, in august, us Credit Rating took a big hit, how big of a hit will a government shut down, deliver to the already. Economy, it will be substantial, but again i think that this problem would exist, shut down or no shut down, and they do, look forward to blaming their failures on the shutdown. And question to you, miss flounders, about the fledging economy of the United States, our guest and la believes that the economy is in trouble with or without a show, the us economy is in deep trouble, the dollar no longer ranks. Thats a fact, the whole world knows it, dedollarization is fact, their ability to impose sanctions on the world is falling out from underneath them, countries have found ways to. And exchange directly with each other, thats enormously threating to us power and to the us economy, they have sanctions on 40 countries around the world, they cant impose them, if these countries are trading among themselves, that for sells disaster economy, for us corporate power, for us banking power, so yes there is real problems ahead, who are they going to shift it to, theyre going to try to push it to working people. Right here so they continue to make the profits, the super profits and uh people here pay the cost and people around the world also pay the cost of this total theft of resources, pumping it endlessly into war and never into peoples needs. Sarah flounders, im going to stay with you for the next question, the democratic lead senate and that house, which is uh controlled by republicans uh, they remain at logger heads on plans to fund the federal agents. What are the main differences here . The senate is pushing for a stop gap funding bill that would extend federal spending until november 17th. House republicans are opposed to that shortterm funding expansion. They also want deep spending cuts. What are these uh spending cuts . Well, theres a lot of grand standing going on uh, and so the republicans may talk about uh war in ukraine and whether to keep funding it. Uh, the military will. Always receive its money, thats thats a fact and its a given, so what theyre really talking about is cutting out all kinds of programs which have been pretty essential in terms of infrastructure, education, health programs, thats what they want cut to the bone, there isnt enough money for that, and so theres a push pull back and forth uh with democrats who would just as soon that some of these programs go by the way, but they want to be able to blame the republicans, so this whole thing about which deadline theyre going to go with and whether its extended or not, as i say, it its its really grand standing, its theater. Danielel platt, one the key issues at hand, is that some republican lawers, they do not want money to keep moving toward ukraine, a Georgia Congress woman has been quoted as saying, any defense containing ukraine funding is dead arrival. How deep is the division over ukraine here . Well, i think the political opposition to funding is significant. I agree with miss flounders that the likelihood that they will cut funding is very slim, but they fear the sentiment in the american public. There was a poll conducted on august 4th by cnn where they found that 55 of americans oppose sending more money to ukraine, and there were votes this morning in the congress on resolutions to cut. There were 100 congressmen that opposed the funding, they of course were outvoted, but thats still a significant number, there was also a vote on sending cluster, cluster munitions to ukraine, which frankly should be uncontroversial, most of the world denounces the use of cluster munitions as a war crime, there were 160 congressmen that voted to stop the clustermunitions, and this was about half and half democrats and republicans, which i think is so even though i think that the powers that be will ram through funding for ukraine, they fear that this fight over ukrainian funding will spark some kind of major resistance in the american population. Right plat, how do the us get here and what does it mean when the government shuts down . Well, as you mentioned, its shut down, shut down 22 times prior to this, its becoming routine, and i think it is kind of mechanism for psychologically uh controlling the population uh to keep them to convince them that theres a huge difference between the two parties, which is largely illusory, or that its important to fight over these tertiary issues rather than the big ones, which are the neoconservative drive for global war, which is absolutely a bipartisan effort, and also the continued desperate attempt to bail out the bubble of financial speculation, which cannot be safe. Theres never any debate over those issues uh until i say this business with ukraine is becoming something of a public fight, which is very useful. Sarah flander, you mentioned earlier that there have been a number of uh Government Shutdowns, um, i came across an interesting question uh on the web by uh by user which said why is the government, Us Government always shutting down. Why does the threat of a Government Shutdown loom almost every year . What can you tell us uh in that regard . Well, it is part of this posturing that theyre fighting each other, and its really shadow boxing. It is completely staged, 22 times. Its a lot, it shows how many years this has gone on and on uh for and how it is every year, every time at least it gets resolved uh with some essential programs cut, some really important ones that have to do with social needs and at the same time, lot of speculation on in terms of whos making the money on this, but the war dont end, nor are they really cut, and i it is very true, this figure 55 , and thats at least of people who admit that theyre against anymore funding for the ukraine, so people in congress got to act like theyre addressing that, but of course theyre not, they will continue to fund the wars, they will continue to fund us threats and they will try to take it out of the population right here, uh, and and that is what this is about, it its so its so fra its really hard to treat it seriously, because everyone knows theyll theyll arrive at some backroom deal, theyll cut the budget here and there, well find out that uh, this this social program, this medical programs cost of pharmaceuticals is no longer covered, you find that out long afterwards, it was all part of the barganing and haggling, and really none of it is, were im talking to you from new york. Were in the midst of flash floods and subways shut down, just rainstorm because the infrastructure here is so decayed, so crepid and theres no funding for it, so im here at home, unable to go anywhere because of the condition of the uh subways today, this is part of what is happening everywhere in the United States today, and its happening in the schools, its happening in Senior Centers and Daycare Centers uh, everywhere, the the programs are being dutted and nothing is being rebuilt. Staying with you miss flounders on the issue, the last partial government shut down as you also looded to was in uh 2018 through 2019, that was um supposedly the longest in history lasting up to 34 days, there was one in october 2013 where the government shut down for 16 days after congress was unable to agree a budget for the new fiscal year, whether this is posturing or not, obviously um hundreds of thousands of federal workers, millions of people are affected by this, what are the productions saying about this one, about the duration, about the severity in comparison to previous shutdowns . Well, we should know what happened with the last shutdown, because in a country where the greatest number of workers live paycheck to paycheck, the idea of being more than a month without a paycheck and bills coming due and rent coming due and tuition for children and all kinds of things uh, these shutdowns create huge problem uh, the shutdowns for that long a time of of parks and highways and roads, all kinds of things, uh, its an enormous um inconvenience, more than inconvenience, a real problem, a real life threatening problem in some situations. Uh, so its been done again and again, how long this one will last, we dont. Programs like fema, theyll shut down, but as i say, the wars dont shut down, and so just making those comparisons, i think is an important part of it, if if seniors dont get a Social Security check, that means hunger, so you know, these these shutdowns create real enormous and immediate difficulties, and thats part of the theater, both. Claim they want to reach deal and its problem of the other party. Daniel plat, miss just uh mentioned interesting um a comment interesting notion that even if government shuts down the wars dont shut down. Do you agree with that . Absolutely, its a bipartisan consensus. The people that say that we dont have bipartisanship in the United States just arent paying attention. All right, and uh, daniel plat, the Us Government has already started notifying federal workers about this eminent shut. Down with no deal in sight, millions of federal workers are in limbo. What services will be rattled if deal is not reached in time . Whats the impact for example on Food Assistance . Uh, medical benefits, retirey benefits and etc. Well, it will be substantial, and again, weve seen this happen before, we know what to expect, and uh, it showss a certain cous disregard for the welfare of the american people, the uh, the commitment to the. The global war agenda of the neoconservatives is iron clad and theyre willing to sacrifice the well of the average citizen uh without hesitation. Where is joe biden amits all of this . Well, hes been uh kind of out to lunch for a long time. Um, where is he, his party, maneuver, part of this whole theater, uh, and i, i have no idea what to say, because clearly he cant resolve it. This is push pool that goes on between the house of. Representatives of senate, one has one bill, one has another bill, obviously he could with executive authority keep any of these things still functioning, but of course he wont do that, he would rather put it on congress to thrash with each other uh than to in any way try to solve it, and that has also been the role of past president s, they act like their hands are tied, and of course they they could pursue, they could. Push through any of these programs if they so chose, but they dont choose to do that. Daniel and the us president be more present during such a critical impass . Ideally yes, but we dont really have a president in the normal sense the term. There was another poll conducted by cnn a couple of months back where they found that again a majority of american citizens considered donald trump and joe biden both unfit for office. So you have to ask questions about a system which. Enforces a rigged choice where people have to choose between two aging, decrepit and frankly incompetent individuals, you would think that at least someone in either party could emerge that is not a neocon that is not committed to the disastrous policy this country has been on frankly for several decades, but whenever someone like that tries to emerge, the media and the Party Apparatus join forces to suppress their campaigns. Daniel plat uh a side note here, the gop led House OversightCommittee Held its first hearing thursday morning on the impeachment inquiry of president joe biden, talk us through its relevance in in this point in time, well its sort of become uh its sort of like a Junior High School environment where each party in turn tries to impeach the president of the other, and its frivous, its again uh designed to create the appearance of huge battle. Between the two parties, which is frankly uh, illusory. All right, and same question to miss flounders. Uh, the uh gop, that house oversidety, they held their first, hearing thursday morning uh on the impeachment inquiry of the president , talk us through its relevance, right now, its i its kind of irrelevant, frankly uh, impeachment of one party. Impeaching the other uh, its another thing that goes on again and again, like like these Government Shutdowns, time after time, how many president s have there been attempted impeachment, impeachment hearings, uh, you know, its uh, really none this has to do with how the Us Government functions on an International Level and functions domestically here at home, its not. What happens in washington is not what is happening to peoples paychecks, which havent increased in literally decades now, and havent uh, we can look at the declining education levels at all those things, this theater of whos impeaching who and where the hearings are, it gets a lot of media, its important in the election campaigns of certain politicians, they get in some quote. Quotes, but uh, what it will amount to, i have, i dont see, all right, and uh, final question for both our guests, daniel plat, come sunday morning, whats your prediction, of the situation with regards to this whole uh Government Shutdown possibility . Um, im really not willing to make a prition about that, im not sure, there is a certain volatility here, and the opposition to the funding ukraine, i think is key flash point, its very peculiar that the American Media have taken the describing opposition to the war as a rightwing policy, and this is something which is sort of an Allison Wonderland sort of thing, because historically in the United States the left appear opposed, wars of aggression, they opposed the cold war, nowadays anyone who speaks out against this very dangerous proxy war in ukraine is branded a right winger, and indicates that theres a certain kind of desperation here to try to keep the public under control. Theyre afraid public a certain point is going to say, this is ridiculous, were no longer going to accept the the quote unquote narrative that is being voiced upon us by. The corporate media. Miss founders, i want to get your prediction as well as the final question for the program. Well, im very much part of uh organizing demonstrations, actions, protests around the country, from october 1 to october 8th, where were planning demonstration here in new york, on sunday, october 1st, and its targeting the media, their their role in war propaganda, and pushing these and in creating the stage there uh and theres a growing anger at the media and at the military, so i i think these actions around the country and the theyre very much left and progressive and antiw forces, theres more than 60 different actions in the coming week, i think thats important, theyre not large, many of them, theyre still a symbolic level, and yet theyre speaking to the majority of population, against this. And against this enormous waste of resources, the time when human need is so great and where we have real problems of climate catastrophe, there should be a war on that, and infrastructure problems of social needs, these are real problems facing it, the Political Parties arent addressing it, and so people are beginning to address it on their own, with all kinds of community action, so you can actually see this at. Peace. Org unac peace. Org for a listing of different actions, but i think its just the beginning, its a first step in organizing opposition to the wars, to cuts and demanding that money be spent for jobs and human needs right here, and not for endless war. Okay, either. Thanks lot.
