Big Deal the US government is (partially) shut down.
Close it down permanently to get a wall.
You would think, according to the mainstream liberal media, that the world was coming to an end.
Keep calm and focus.
There have been 20 shutdowns in modern US history.
Six in the 1970s, ranging from 8 to 17 days in length.
The longest was back in 1995 for 3 weeks sending federal workers home.
Did the country collapse then?
Did Americans truly suffer?
Do we have TOO much government, anyway?
This came during the gridlock of the Clinton Administration. It was a Democrat President.
Truthfully, going way back, the Congress and President often disagree. The separation of powers was intended to have this competing effect.
And closing government down is one way to try and accomplish a political agenda.
Maybe closing a part of the government every few weeks would actually be a good idea, anyway.
There is a reason after all for why they call them “non-essential” government employees.
