Most Americans are trained to think that without government we’re doomed. I’d love nothing more than a government shut down. Months would be nice.
I saw a good tweet the other day: you know Trump is going to do the opposite of what Obama did — he won’t close unstaffed cemeteries &c that are never closed anyway, he won’t be boo-hoo-ing about how the country is going to screech to a halt ten different ways, and he won’t call the MSM three times a day to have them broadcast the plight of various hand-picked “shutdown victims”.
Can we lock up the house of representatives until they get their work done and shut them down for a year.
Previous shutdowns went by relatively unnoticed.
Well, except Obama’s weaponized use of the shutdown against veterans and national park visitors.
But don't worry, the FAKE NEWS industry will come through they will show crowds of women and children suffering en'masse even if they need to hire actors to get it done.

Why don’t we just shut down Congress?
Which is more troubling?
The government shutting down or being invaded by millions of illegals?
I share Derek Hunter’s exasperation with the whole rotten system. Yes, shut down the whole monstrosity that is our modern federal government, starting with Congress. The Executive is only one fed branch. There are two others. The courts are largely useless anymore. Shut them down. Congress is a hotbed of deep corruption. Shut it down. Then shut down all the useless alphabet agencies. Only leave vital services open, such as border patrol, defense department, social security, Medicare, treasury and maybe CDC.
I disagree with the author. This would be an opportunity to shut down non-essential services (Department of Education, etc.). Going to be hard to explain why none of those things were missed during the shitdown.
Yes, this time it might be different. Let’s let the Demos shut-down the government to protect illegal immigration. How will that play in the 2018 mid-terms? Of course, the MSM will not call them on it, but the people should see this for what it is. JMHO.
Amen Derek! We've had enough! If you (congress) can't do your job then GTFO and GTFH (explanation of acronyms available upon request). Shut it down!
Money saved during the “shutdown” should be given to social security recipients...
Trump should build a task force to record, and track, government expenditures/savings (due to shutdown). Such a review could be a trigger as to how many governmental departs could (and should) be permanently eliminated.
Many of them will not even be missed by anyone but its employees, and their fat, little, pay checks.
An America bogged down with democrat pork, can’t become GREAT AGAIN.
