I’m good with a government shutdown until everyone gets back from vacation in January. We’re going to pay for them doing nothing anyway, why not just make it all official and shut down the government in the interim?

A lot of feds will be off much of December anyhow, many using leave under ‘use or lose’ circumstances. The remaining few will either be taking leave themselves or be largely doing nothing of substance.

So am I. The problem is that the last time govt was shut down, a lot of voters were not happy. The GOP was blamed and believes seats were lost because of it.
