I agree. The two prior ‘shutdowns’ have occurred under Clinton and Obama regimes.
Now with President Trump in charge he can shutdown the departments and agencies that have been a pain in the butt for conservatives.
I remember that Obama targeted the National Parks for shutdown as that would irritate the most people.
Trump can shutdown the Department of Education and 75% of the people will give him a high five.
Trump can shutdown the Department of Education and 75% of the people will give him a high five.>>> i was hoping and said that a while back. Probably 75% of every deppartment. keep all the parks and stuff open and just shut down everything else. save tons of money.
He should shut down EPA as well.
You hit the nail square on the head. Trump can shut down all the BS departments that will surely tick off the Rats and save us billions! I’m all for it as long as my Navy retirement and SSI keep coming that is; but even if that stops I can maintain for at least a year so go ahead - shut ‘er down! Trump has a formidably strong weapon at his disposal and it looks like he knows it.
Last shutdown showed us that 98% of the EPA was non-essential. Start there.
Live in the D.C. area. People I know who work for Fed and they love shutdowns. Free unplanned vacations. They still get paid.
After every shutdown the Pubs gained seats in the congress. This “fear” is bogus.
