There should be a large clock...like the debt clock...informing American citizens how much we are saving during Schumer’s shutdown.

The problem with that is that the shutdown is a farce. Once Congress does pass a bill to reopen the government, most of those who were on not-getting-the-paycheck status will get reimbursed. Thus, their pay is delayed but they still get it.

We aren’t saving anything. In fact, we’re losing money. The employees will get their pay in full when the bill passes but no work will have been accomplished in the mean time. Paid vacation.
