Somebody better figure out what will stop him.

Why would the Republicans be worried about a shut down ,it looks like the last one Killed the Democrats

[Oldeconomybuyer]

We need an alternative word for “shutdown”. The federal government never shuts down and employees always get paid time off.

Perhaps we call it a government “vacation”.

Really, the dems have captured this issue via language and used it to frighten Repub congress members. Along with the media, this weapon has been effective in spite of being a lie.

I submit that a simple change in language could go a long way toward turning it around to our advantage.

Call it a "government slowdown" instead.

That has all kinds of good connotations to it. It's not scary. It's inviting. It's so similar to that other phrase the dems use that it makes the transition to using it quite easy.

It's not scary either.

And, wouldn't a lot of America WANT government to slow down.

It’s a stupid lie.
Legislative language WILL stop him, budgetary adjustments won’t.

Sure, he can- with Dem congressmen’s help- stop sending welfare checks and close down EBT just to keep his amnesty going.
