The Government Shutdown Will Cost More Than Trump's $5 Billion Border Wall Funding, According to Experts
[...]
William G. Gale, a senior fellow for the nonpartisan Brookings Institution .. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2019/01/03/how-to-shut-down-future-shutdowns/ .. think tank, wrote this week that the shutdown is especially silly because the amount of money being fought over is tiny in the grand scheme. “The programs without current funding cost more than $300 billion per year,” Gale wrote. “By contrast, the amount in dispute regarding the wall is roughly $4 billion, after accounting for more than $1 billion of border security funding previously offered by Democrats.”
P - “The notion that much of the government should shut down because of disagreements in one tiny area of government spending defies logic and common sense. No business would operate that way,” Gale wrote. “While the political grandstanding continues, the economy will suffer.”

The Dems and the Idiots passed a bill to do just that. Pumpkin face hasn't signed the bill for back pay, bucko. It has sat on his desk for 5 days, and the worthless POS shows he doesn't give a shit about the workforce by not signing it.

Your post is pure bullshit, as is your view of most anything you vomit onto the board.
