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 media has been setting the stage to blame the GOP to no ones surprise. Let the Dems shut it down.

The GOP has become the party of Concern Trolls.

The `rats have been setting the stage since this time last year: “resistance” and all of their obstructionism; their vicious anti-fa stormtroopers; and “I will not comply, I won’t attend the SOTU, I will hold my breath until I turn blue.”
There is no doubt as to who the public will blame. And we don’t have a petty, egg-sucking America-hating SOB in the WH this time. We have a warrior, an American success story who loves the bully pulpit and a few good Americans still in Congress. Shut it down.

When Ted Cruz shut down the government, the GOP won HUGE in the next election. Let the Democrats shut it down over DACA and the GOP will win huge this fall.

I’m not nervous. Shut it down. The employees will get any back pay they might miss and the respite from DC’s banging on the pots and pans will give us a chance to talk about something else.

It is also FAKE NEWS> The Republicans are finally growing a spine thanks to Trump’s counsel. They are not going to roll over again, in spite of the couple of girly men who inhabit Republican seats.

Why is it that the GOP/Repubulicans are ALWAYS at fault when there is a government shutdown?

After the last temp shutdown the Pubbies actually gained seats. Only the press and Dems were unhappy.
