All 50 States Brace for Financial Fallout from Democrat Standoff

Key Takeaways:

• Nationwide Economic Impact: The Council of Economic Advisers warns the shutdown could cost the U.S. 15 billion dollars in GDP each week, with job losses and spending declines in every state.
  
• Families on the Line: Critical programs like WIC and SNAP are at risk, threatening millions of women and children who rely on these benefits for daily essentials.
  
• Free Market, Not Free Handouts: The shutdown shows the danger of reckless spending and political brinkmanship. Real growth comes from fiscal responsibility, private enterprise, and empowering workers—not funding giveaways for illegal immigrants.

As Democrats push their plan to fund free healthcare for illegal immigrants, they are holding the government—and the American people—hostage. According to the Council of Economic Advisers, the United States could lose 15 billion dollars in GDP each week the shutdown continues. This is not some distant problem in Washington. Every single state will feel the hit.

New data paints a grim picture. All 50 states face job losses, stalled consumer spending, and major disruptions to programs like WIC and SNAP. If the shutdown lasts a month, more than 43,000 Americans could lose their jobs, with California, Texas, and New York among the hardest hit. Families depending on WIC and SNAP could see benefits frozen, including nearly 800,000 women and children in Texas alone.

Consumer spending is expected to collapse as workers lose paychecks and federal contracts dry up. Florida could see 1.7 billion dollars in lost spending per month, while Virginia faces a staggering 3.6 billion dollar drop. State economies are shrinking too, with California losing 2.1 billion dollars in gross state product every week and Texas close behind at 1.4 billion.

This isn’t fiscal discipline—it’s economic sabotage. Democrats are gambling with American livelihoods to score political points. The better path is clear: stop the reckless shutdown, restore fiscal responsibility, and let the free market—not big government—lead the way toward growth, stability, and prosperity for working Americans.
