I think you meant to say the number was TWICE what they were expecting, not half.

Republican economists have sent a letter to Trump urging a halt to more spending. They suggest a payroll tax cut instead. The democrats are pumping for more spending.

People who have spent their whole life earning money, to spend it on stuff, were denied the ability to spend it.

Now, they once again are able to, and there are some who are surprised at this, still.

They are going to make deals with the devil to get another shut down. Heck, impeaching Trump again, for not listening to his doctors and shutting down the economy is not out of the question.
