I sure wish Mother Government(s) had had this much concern when she shut the whole WORLD down during the Plandemic.

*SPIT*

The last shutdown cost the debt to rise 11 billion. We really can’t afford to keep going or shutdown.

We wouldn’t be blamed if the house did their dang job. Pass the bills and let the senate shut down the government then democrats can be blamed. But the house can’t even get their act together on the only job they are required to do.

No more kicking the can down the road.

Shut it down. KEEP it shut down... until Congress does it’s job and passes and real budget...

If they can’t agree... KEEP it shut down... fire them all... call a special election where NO ONE currently in Office can run... and let’s get this crap fixed.

Temp budgets and continuing resolutions when they are supposed to pass a 10 year budget is just criminal.

Shut it down. Shut it down. Shut it down.

Shut it down. Shut it down. Shut it down.

Government workers always benefit from these shutdowns. They get a few days off (it never lasts more than that) and they still get paid for it, with a few days delay. Win for them!

I don't want to hear sob stories about their woes.

The politicians care so much, about Federal workers getting paid vacation, from a shutdown, but, could care less, about, the taxpayer's, that have to pay for their, out of control spending.

Shut it down.

If anyone is curious as to why I demonize federal employees, it is actually for several thoughtful reasons.

Your reasons for demonization are solid, and I'll add a few more.

Take the RNs working at the VA. They're federal employees and masquerade as caregivers to vets. In Truth, they're Deep State stooges stealing pills and sleeping on the job.

The IT staff providing network infrastructure to the Feds are another good example. Instead of enabling communication, they are establishing underwater ISDN lines to China for the express purpose of flipping packets.

There are plenty of other fellow travelers, in seemingly innocuous professions such as construction and corrections that are Feds - all Deep State goons that need to see their income frozen to Save America.

It’s never a winning issue politically.

I loved it when Gingrich did it in the 90's. The reality is, that using the power of the purse is the only way to change anything. The most important thing to require is the end to the U.S. Post Office delivering all of the fraudulent mail in ballots which were used to rig recent elections. The border pales in comparison, and who believes the Bidet Regime will execute new laws after ignoring the old ones? Shut down the government until it stops delivering fraudulent ballots to perpetuate its time in office.
