The shutdown will upset only the people who are forcing the shutdown. Everyone else is likely to be thrilled. We don’t need half these government bureaucrats. Send ‘em home. Don’t let them come back.
Seriously, think how much more Trump could get done without all the obstructionists in the way.
trump will be cash flow positive in no time
pray for a swamp draining shutdown
The problem is...there’s a continuing resolution that they get paid when the government is again back in business. In other words, it’s a paid vacation!!
I think the gov’t was shut down today. I got along just fine.
Who are these unnecessary bums you speak of?
Do you mean the Federal Employees who spend their life supporting the Military? The ones who refurbish the aircraft, Navy ships and subs? The people who write and monitor the contracts to ensure that the war fighters get the products that taxpayers paid for?
Perhaps the tens of thousands of people at the IRS, who have the thankless job of going through each and every return by hand? Sure, the computers scan and file, but a human checks every small, or large company for irregularities.
Perhaps you mean Border Control and INS? Or is it TSA and the air traffic controllers? Remind me again, how many hijackings in the past 6 years? How many attempts have been made since then to smuggle weapons on board aircraft? Trust me, the answer is higher than the press reports.
You are painting every Federal Employee with a very broad brush.
Capital Hill does no damage to Americans when the Government is shut down. Everybody still gets a back paycheck when it reopens It’s non essential functions that are shut down. Maybe they should be shut down permanently.
That has included Congress for years.
