Haven’t we yet learned that the government doesn’t really shut down, just the parts meant to stick it to the people (like parks, etc.)?
In 2013 along with outdoor memorials, obama had Ash hole Carter shut down half the DoD civilian workforce.
I know some might applaud that given the common sentiment on FR, however the point is, along with my facility, many others that directly supported the US Warfighter were crippled for a week for no good reason.
During these so called shutdowns the DoD is an ESSENTIAL branch and is ALWAYS fully funded.
At just my facility alone 3,500 Navy aviation maintenance personell were placed on no duty-no pay furloughs....for absolutely no reason other than to F with people......the demon that is obama loved to do that.
