Subject: Re: AFGE union calls shutdown end
But, back in March, Schumer said:
"I have said many times there are no winners in a government shutdown".

“I believe it is my job to make the best choice for the country, to minimize the harms to the American people. Therefore, I will vote to keep the government open and not shut it down.”

Times change and his caucus probably showed a need to be seen as "doing something", and the gambit is that Dems aren't harmed and the Republicans look bad. So far it's that way, but it can't go on much longer without switching.
