A recent government shutdown deal has revealed a concerning truth about the Republican Party: its lack of concern for the pain inflicted on average Americans by its policies. According to analyst Will Saletan, the party doesn’t prioritize human suffering in its decision-making. He believes this indifference is both a political weakness and a sign that they’re doing the right thing.
Saletan discussed the deal on “The Bulwark Podcast,” saying he has no issue with it, despite Democratic criticism over letting food assistance benefits expire and leaving federal employees without pay. However, he notes that Democrats made the best of the situation by passing the bill until January.
