“Government shutdown = Government paid vacation”
Yep - DACs get time off “without pay” (delayed pay) which can worry some but most are fine. The “essential” services continue, contractors show up and hold the fort down (a number of DACs have to show up because contractors are on-site), then the “shutdown” is over and all the DACs get paid for the time off. All the while the govt/media is wailing and carrying on about the “shutdown” for the news. HUGE crisis. /s

“Cruz specifically is advocating for Congress to refuse to fund the Department of Homeland Security, the agency charged with immigration enforcement.”
Is this statement completely true?

“...Republicans Shouldn’t Fear a Government Shutdown ...”
I sure as Hell don’t fear it... I welcome it.
It’s the only damn time my wallet is safe from those greedy assh*le public servants on Capitol Hill.
The more gridlock, the better.

I agree. I don’t want Social Security to be harmed. Military and military retired pay needs to go out.
Other than that...
I guess health care for seniors also.
It’s a mess. I don’t fully understand what does get paid and what doesn’t.

Problem is, they find a way to screw those who did nothing wrong. Social Security, Medicare, Veterans...
It’s like when cities run short because they are spending too much on Liberal crap, so they refuse to fund libraries, the police, fire departments...
They know the public will sucker for it, and agree to higher taxation.
