If a “government shutdown” had any literal context whatsoever, yes. Those days would no longer exist as part of the tax year.

But the phrase is used as malarkey, kubuki, gibberish meant to stir up the masses of often lazy Demovik regulars who have to be dragged to an issue like they are dragged to the polls on election day—pried away from their pot, their reality TV, their hip-hop masochistic trance.
