And THIS time, don’t pay the furloughed workers for days that they didn’t work. . .
Great! Force Rat senators up for 2018 reelection to stand with or oppose open borders and sanctuary cities. We can only win in this showdown.
We should start a pool on how long it will be shut down.
Imagine non-essential services shut down .... forever.
The writer can be a jerk here, but that is a very good article.
LS - Thanks for writing “..reinforces the perception of Trump as a businessman who cuts the fat, extracts more efficiency, and makes the U.S. government more like a business.”
Coming from this perspective, showing Trump not as a career politician but a businessman, he could come out smelling like a rose in this situation. I hope the various talking heads are on this already, and are ready to use it if necessary.
It is about time to let the government shut down. Until we do nothing is going to be done to fix the mess that has be plaguing the nation for decades. Most presidents who refused to fix the mess know exactly how to play congress. They in effect hold the elderly and the children as hostages until congress caves into their demands. Nobody wants to grandma, grandpa or junior suffer. Never once to they attempt to cut out the ridiculous amount of funds that only benefit the select few. Lets overhaul spending for foreign aid, welfare, funding for illegals, and special interest.
I pinged LS so he can see your early morning snark. I like you better in 'lurk' mode.
Well done, Larry!
We win either way—now I can’t wait for what happens.
Thanks for centering us once again.
This won’t be business as usual in DC, even with that snake Ryan trying to torpedo President Trump.
Pass the popcorn.
Post 29 was meant to be sent to you.
It would send a Yuge message to Congress he is not playing the swamp game anymore. Let the media cry wolf all they want. His voters would love him even more.
... with out of control spending,...
Gotta starve the pig.

yes - last time we learned about 800,000 non-essential federal employees and 1,000,000 non-essential federal consultants
drain the swamp
Excellent article, LS.
Bring on the shutdown.
Trump could shut down Planned Parenthood.
“As Rush Limbaugh has noted, the last time the GOP shut down government, they picked up seats in the next election. They need to stop living in fear and do the job we elected them to do.”

Exactly. I keep hearing how the shutdown really hurt the Republicans.... Really? I remember shortly thereafter there was the famous “shellacking”. the dems suffered not the R’s.
Works for me.
The federal government is the single biggest obstacle to success and prosperity.
