Of course, but billions for welfare, raises for politicians, billions for countries that hate us won’t be affected. Same old bull shit. Too bad Americans are sleeping.
IF their really were conservatives in the Republican Congress, the removal of "back pay" for government non-essential employees when they return from a "shutdown" SHOULD BE put in place, and let's see how that sits with them. Likewise, ANY funding of non-contributory programs should be cut FIRST, and non-citizen benefits are included in that, and see how well that would work out during a shutdown, too.
