Once you get up to thirty days of limited government services, and a lot of civil service in the DC area will start to get worried. I think by week six....a lot of Democrats will ask to return to the topic of fixing this, and find that Trump wants 10-percent (minimum) of the workers to be permanently erased from the DC work establishment. By week eight...it’ll finally end. If I were a GS in DC....I’d put my house up for sale right now and prepare for the worst.

What the Democrats and RINOs have forgotten is......Reagan and the air traffic controllers....

If you read the media coverage at the time and you would think Reagan would never recover from that 1981 "debacle"...just ask "President Mondale" how that worked out for him in the election of 1984.

I’ve said a few times that one measure of Trump’s success will be housing prices in the D.C. suburbs. If he manages to keep them level for a few years from their current overinflated values, that would be a success. If he manages to reduce them through his actions cutting Federal programs and bureaucracy, that would be success beyond my wildest dreams.

Watch out for Paul Ryan who will betray Trump in a New York minute. Ryan has said his number one priority is to avoid a shutdown, but he also opposes border wall funding and says that health care reform will have to wait.

We should start a pool on how long it will be shut down.

Imagine non-essential services shut down .... forever.

In the past, government employees still got their paychecks. In a true shut down, all government dollars should be frozen and not handed out after it is over. Stop their paychecks and tell them it’s because they blew the money. Next time they’ll be more careful with the department’s money.
