For most part, the shutdown is inconveniencing those who vote Democrat. The Republican minority among government employees can stand it for the good that it will do for our country.

And they can look at it this way. At least they haven’t been trying to survive in the private sector all of these years. Many private sector people are poor, but we’re not all bums.

That’s $80 BILLION per year!

and the Dems are crying about 0.1 percent of the budget?
