Short answer by the rats and their sycophant media: it's all Trump's fault!

As I understand it, shutdown only affects 17% of Govt workers?

The Judiciary as set forth in Article III was (now) obviously inadequate in specifically spelling out how limited the courts were to be.

Power-hungry people took over the Judiciary and made it more powerful than the other two branches, even though they actually have no means to enforce their edicts.

Government attracts those who hunger for power. That is the essence of the problem.

Hmmm, let’s rank these in order of importance:

Your farmers shut down.
Your truck drivers shut down.
Your electricity shuts down.
Your water shuts down.
Your sewer shuts down.
Your garbage collection shuts down.
Your government/journalists shut down.

Ergo, all those folks in the first six are far, far, FAR more important than the low-T marshmallow and law major slugs located at the bottom line.

And, pretty good bed that those men and women in the first six would be much more efficient and productive in government than most of the slimeballs now there.

A gov’t shut down would be effective only if it would last for several years.

The last time there was a “shutdown,” 83% of the government remained open.

Other than the news coverage you won’t even notice. Most of the government is now funded on continuing resolutions. We don’t need a budget passed anymore, we’ve even gone multiple years without it even being debated much less passed. When they do a “shutdown” they just close a couple of things for show, the bulk of the government just keeps on rolling. It’s a dog and pony show.
