How to quantify a loss on paper in stocks? They come back, not valid here.

This is just so much crap! The economy ( as measured by the stock market I suppose) goes up and down independently of how many useless people we have on our payroll at any given time.

$5 billion amounts to like 000.08 of the economy. Unnoticeable.

We wouldn’t be aware they was a shutdown save for the cable tv fake news media chyrons blaring on about it.

No one cares.

The government always operates at a loss. They take $1.00 in taxpayer money and turn it into $0.23 worth of crap you don’t need, and that’s being generous.

Trump can not bring the workers back to work. CONgress needs to send a budget bill to the Senate and they need to pass it and send it to Trump to sign it to appropriate the funds to start the government back up.

Congress promised US border security in 1986.

They promised US again with the Secure Fence Act in 2006.

Time’s up.

BUILD THE WALL!

DEPORT THEM ALL!

The Democrat party of crime has been looting America and blowing tax dollars like drunken lottery winners for decades.

They’re whole agenda is to undermine, compromise and bankrupt the U.S., as they destroy our borders, our morals, our language, our sovereignty, our monuments, our currency and our educational system.

The traitorous Demonicrats like Nancy and Chuckie would rather destroy America than agree with President Trump to defend American by building the wall.

Let’s divide Trump’s request of $5.7 billion by $4.407 trillion, the federal budget for fiscal year 2019...

This is a steaming pile of bovine excrement.

People don’t starve based on short term stock price movements.
People don’t lose their homes in 21 days, even in America.

This ‘shut down’ could be ended tomorrow, if only the dhimmicraps could get past their hatred of Trump, and do what is right for America.

"So by not spending money , money is being lost?"

I keep wondering about that, too.

HOW do we, as citizens "lose money" when government workers aren't working?

Are we making fewer U.S. bonafide widgets during a shutdown?

Selling bonafide widgets at a loss?

I don't get it.
