"Its amazing how much we can do without those shuttered agencies liberals wail about."

Shhhh!

Taxpayers may wake up and notice such things.

Wait, what are we paying these people to do, exactly?

Furthermore, if they wouldn’t pay the laid off worker back pay, the savings would more than compensate for the paltry sum Trump is asking for the wall.

The longer it stays shutdown just proves how much we don't need most of these parasites.

Pure BS. This is a theory weirdo Krugman would come up with.

Only government can cost more closer than open.

BUT, you have to think of people like that poor attorney that works for the EPA. He had to take a job at Home Depot for $14 an hour. How can the poor man survive on that?

He evidently does not have a savings account nor stock to sell off to buy groceries for his starving children.

We should get together and buy him a tent and reserve a spot for him in SF soon. Maybe there are a few coal miners who have been put out of work by the EPA could help him out.

The economy, as measured by GDP, includes deficit spending...so failing to overspend would reduce GDP by a like amount - at least until the real growth arrives.

My gut says this goes all the way up to State Of Union address and Trump fills the gallery with families of murdered people my illegal aliens. He goes for the spectacle, then gives the Dems a 48 hour notice that come make a deal, end this problem, or he will declare a Emergency and fix it as the Dems are obviously not the group that represents the people.
