US Government Headed to Shutdown

[willypete]

I wonder how long they think this can go on. Like how do they expect people to live without getting paid. Are they waiting on someone to die of starvation?

I want to say yes but with food stamps still in place that might not be until February that we see progress.


I’ve been out of work as well and this ish has been stressful. Been applying to hella jobs to replace this one

Seeing that Tump cancelled his Davos trip which is 10 days out, I guessing not before then. Plus his legal troubles are mounting evident by him beefing up his legal team, so Trump needs a distraction.

Only way this ends is if Senate Republicans cave to pressure from their base and send veto beating legislation to the president.

That’s going to be tricky. If you using DOD money that means the National Gaurd will be responsible for building the wall. The national guard belongs to their respective governors unlike traditional military which belong to the president. The president can declare a national emergency but the governors determine what resources they can allocate to building such wall. I don’t see Cali or New Mexico jumping at their opportunity to build their portion of the wall. Arizona and Texas may easier but Texas still has that Rio Grande river to contend with and seen the river crosses the mex and Texas border at multiple points a wall would have to cross the river essentially blocking its flow

I'm seeing reports that the shutdown could last over a year.

Our currency system is beyond flawed.

 

[frshstunna]

The “wall” never getting built ...Trump needs to stop bs’n n let ppl get back to gettin checks

Too bad he’s not smart or rational so who knows

 

[Zainjal26]

Wall won’t ever be built
This shutdown is entirely on trump and Mitch McConnell
Hundreds of Thousands of government workers with no paychecks

 

[sooperhooper]

Just curious if these people will vote for him again... They'll probably find a way to blame Obama.

People just trying to earn a ******* living with some dignity and this ************ keeping them from it right now. This ******** has to end now.

This goes on as long as some say then some people (or a lot) are going to lose everything. Its ******* terrible.

Trump was born with a golden spoon in his mouth and his parents never put him through the "you're on your own" phase.
