First, isn’t FEMA already funded for this kind of stuff?

Second, the math is funny. Nearly $7 billion for resettlement of Afghans? That’s about 50% of what he wants to use to rebuild Ida damages. And why isn’t this already in the military budget? DoD budget probably saves $7 billion a day now that we don’t spend it on the Afghanistan deployment.

Except that Fedzilla NEVER shuts down since the vast majority of it is deemed essential and keeps on running.

All we need to do to avoid default is pay the interest on the debt.

We can do that.

So the threat of a shutdown only scares the ignorant.

Thank you publik skrewls.
