WHY DOESNT TRUMP THREATEN TO SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN? Conservatives know that a government shutdown is good for the nation’s finances.
It is the threat that lobs can’t handle.
It’s incredibly bad for the nation’s finances to shut down the government.
Now, actually cutting entitlement spending - THAT would be good for the nation’s finances, but the idiot jackass Freedom Caucus torpedoed that idea last month. Too afraid of backlash to actually do their jobs. Meadows is the most spineless weasel in congress.
Yeah, because it worked out SO great for Cruz in 2013! That’s when he got Obamacare defunded, and propelled himself to becomeing President!
Oh wait, that was just a fantasy in Ted’s Lyin’ head...
Well for one thing government shutdowns aren’t really shutdowns. They generally shutdown only about 10% of the government, and they make that 10% the part that people need to live their lives, thus making sure everybody knows how irritating the other side it. Sadly it’s pure grandstanding BS from both sides, and doesn’t actually accomplish anything.
