Trump Wins YUGE in a Government Shutdown

[Harpy Eagle]

We'll see how he & Congress fair from a shut down.

I doubt anybody will even notice. No one did last time.

Not true at all.

Social Security checks will continue, the military will be funded, and necessary services will hum along while grants to study the sex life of the fruit bat will not.

Trump would relish starving all the non-essential offices like PBS and NPR or global-warming science grants.

Has anybody figured out yet, if some services are "non-essential", why do we restart funding them at all after the shutdown is over?

Boom.

Why indeed.

Shut it down. And keep it shut down.

This is like a troll post, right? You are really not this stupid, it is just an act?

When I was in the Corps stationed in Okinawa when a typhoon would could all non-essential personnel were restricted to the barracks. By this stupid view of yours none of those people were needed, ever.

No wonder so many of you idiots voted for Trump, you have the IQ of a loaf of bread.

this is not a joke, they are really serious lol

except probably the thousands of workers who were out of work, unpaid.

Except they did get paid.

Workers to get $2 billion in back pay after government shutdown

They always do get the back pay. There are not enough politicians that would commit the political suicide that would be not paying people because they could not come to an agreement. Imagine how that would play out when the ran for reelection.

yea they got paid back after..


that's your source to support the claim that no one noticed the shutdown?
"As the president has said, the shutdown that occurred last month inflicted completely unnecessary damage on our economy and took a toll on families and businesses across the country," OMB Director Sylvia Mathews Burwell said in a White House blog post."

what a fail.

Trump Wins YUGE in a Government Shutdown

We’re looking at a possible government shutdown next Saturday, and that’s got some conservatives nervous. They shouldn’t be. Admittedly, past government shutdowns — or threats of shutdowns — have worked against conservatives. With Trump, however, it would likely be a different story....

even a partial shutdown plays precisely into the Trump agenda and his campaign promises of draining the swamp. Trump’s base, as well as “swing voters” who are fed up with out of control spending, would, of course, be cheered by such a move. Moreover, such a shutdown plays into Trump’s hands by giving him every excuse to slash funding to “sanctuary cities,” to bloated university programs, to global warming science grants, and on and on. Social Security checks will continue, the military will be funded, and necessary services will hum along while grants to study the sex life of the fruit bat will not. Deep State bureaucrats who so depend on the federal government for their very existence would be the ones most hurt. In short, Trump can not only make even a partial shutdown look like the Democrats’ fault but shield many of the (normally) loudest voices from the pain.

More important, every minute the bloated government is shut down reinforces the perception of Trump as a businessman who cuts the fat, extracts more efficiency, and makes the U.S. government more like a business. Unlike the Clinton/Gingrich shutdown battle, the control over what sectors of the government get their money is in the hands of a Republican president, not a Democrat who held up funds on the most visible and sympathetic programs. Trump would relish starving all the non-essential offices like PBS and NPR or global-warming science grants.​

Trump can't shut the government down, he's not in charge of the purse strings. Only congress can do that.

Trump attempting to shut down the government only makes the entire Republican party look inept, and let's face it, he's already made enough Republican enemies on the hill, and Democrats certainly aren't going to show any love for him.

so goof ball, if trump can't shut down the government, then how can Trump shut down the government? did you read your own fking stupid post?

congress has the ability to shut down the government. Trump and his shity policies, shitty "leadership," and shitty negotiation skills will be the cause of government shutdown.

how you figure that? He hasn't put anything through congress?

Still inconvenient, unnecessary, and an overall hit to the economy.

so how is it his policies will shutdown the government. I'd say the lack of putting his policies in does that.

Well, first off you are paying people for work they did not do. Second, if it is an extended shutdown people will miss paydays and they will not have the extra money to spend doing things like eating out buying things, so those stores and shops will take a hit. That money will never come back, you cannot make up for two weeks of no customers at restaurant or store.

the shutdown is over funding for this wall if I am correct. Shitty idea, shitty execution thus far. It won't happen. It was never a realistic idea, just a silly slogan for his followers to choke on.

No matter how he fairs you will still deny.
