The federal government spends $4 trillion a year without a budget - about the GDP of Germany. The US government never "shuts down". 83% of government workers are deemed "essential" which means nobody will even notice. This is a Fake Crisis.

The way to handle a shut down is to say that they’promised less government and now they’re delivering on that promise!

Based on many articles, the GOP is already going to pay in the mid-terms
even before DACA.

So full steam ahead President Trump.

Exactly, but the RINO’s will run screaming and crying because they are in league with the RATS and do their bidding.

The nervous need to get the message thru their own heads, then thru constituents’ heads, that the Democrats are saying that legalizing illegal immigration is MORE important than EVERYTHING ELSE the government does. It’s not; it’s illegal for a reason - worth a debate on its own, but NOT worth holding the country hostage over.

It is NOT the Republicans shutting things down, it’s the Democrats.

If the Republicans are afraid, then it is the right thing to do.

For the life of me I do not understand how these men (and women) made to this level of government when they are afraid to stand up for something (other than bash President Trump).

Shame on them for selling out the people that voted for them. Shame.

The 17% should be told to stay home for good if it shuts down and nobody notices. That would be a meaningful cut.

The Republicans are always nervous nellies when they are required to take a stand.

All Trump has to do is call a national address and tell the People that the democrats are shutting down the government over illegal aliens.

Where do the Republicans run when the heat is on?

Why, in the tall grass, of course!

They will not suffer if every damn time they mention the word “shutdown” they instead say “Democrat shutdown”, but they cannot train themselves to do any such thing because it would be functional and effective.

Republicans need to act like they are the majority in the House and Senate. Pass a budget over the minority party.

I hate these quivering ganglia. They make me puke. The shut down of “non essential” government is our greatest day!! “Non essential government “ should not exist.” I don’t care who shuts it down.
