let’s all get behind Schumer’s proposal (and then just keep his shutdown IN PLACE)
we can name it after him ... the Schumer Right-Sizing of Government Event
we can even have it proclaimed an annual national holiday, like any other national liberation type celebration

This really approaches the level of: “Do anything you want to me, but, please, please, don’t throw me in that briar patch!”
