Government Shutdown

[paints]

Government shutdowns are caused by small baby-men having a temper tantrum because they can't get their way. 

I would agree with you, except for one thing.  Who controls both houses of Congress, and the presidency?  Republicans own this. 
In other circles, it's called extortion.

lol And that would apply to EVERY PERSON INVOLVED IN VOTING!  The democrats are doing the same thing. They are stomping and screaming because they can't have their way.  Get ready for it to get a LOT worse. The democrats have already said they will block ANYTHING that Trump tries to do or that the Republicans are for.

So you are correct.  It is all about baby men and women pitching a fit when things do not go exactly their way.

LOL.  The democrats are the ones holding this up.  They are the ones who will not agree to the budget.  And it is not extortion.  I doubt you would say the same thing when the democrats were in control of everything. No you thought that was a good thing. smh.

And FYI Obama shut the government down for over 2 weeks to get his obamacare insurance shoved through. Did you think that was okay?  Did you accuse him of extortion? Somehow I think you was okay with that.

Sorry, the republicans owned that shutdown too.  And FYI, Obamacare was modeled on a Republican plan.  Which Republicans thought was great, until it was presented to them by a Democrat.

And no matter how you spin it, the Republicans own this.  Why would anyone agree to funding a budget that makes no sense?   It's farce.

Reality is even his own party s not voting to pass this or it would have been done. Republicans have control over every both houses and the presidency at this time.T

Government shut downs hurts our 401k with effect on the market. All my work hard money just gone.

[countrygirl12]

Most of those that are  off right now would be anyway, and they  do get paid later  when the  government opens back up. the only  thing is  the tourist are the ones who don't  get to see the national  sights.  But I am sure there are a lot of  state parks and sights to see.  Obama  did several  shut downs. Every time he couldn't get his way.  He  gave billions to other countries. Billions to Fannie Mae and Freddie mac to keep them going when they were  giving money away like crazy to  people  wanting to buy house that had no idea how to pay for one and they lost their tails on it.  All President Trump wants is 5B.  Just another democrat ploy to  make him look bad.

EXACTLY!!!

And we need the wall.  You cannot have open boarders and just let who ever walk right in.  Nobody is saying no to immigrants just ILLEGAL immigrants.

Nobody is talking about open borders besides Trump. Send money on patrols and moving the court hearings along quickly but this "wall" is a waste.  Most illegals are visa overstays.  The illegal who shot the cop in CA recently was from Fiji not Mexico so the wall would have been no use.  If everyone who believes in the Wall donates to that Gofundme they can have their wall and not take away from other more important uses for 5 billion 

LOL Are you on drugs or just delusional?  Trump is NOT talking about open borders. That is the demos.

The wall is NOT a waste and not the illegals are NOT VISA over stays.  Did you miss the huge invasion otherwise known as the caravan where thousands marched across the border? They walk across the border illegally every day.  They get caught doing so every day.  We need the wall. 

What more important issues do you think it should go to? Planned Parenthood where they murder millions of babies every year?

Not sure where you get your info about the ILLEGAL who shot the cop in California but obviously a wall would make a difference because he was apprehended trying to get BACK TO MEXICO! 

Every one who is for no wall and open borders needs to take a family of illegals in to their home. You feed them, you clothe them, you pay their medical, you take care of them. Not one penny of tax payer money should go to take care of them or any baby they pop out on US soil.

LOL.  Then we just disagree.  This is at the democrats doorstep. THEY are the ones who refuse to fund the presented budget.

Like I said the democrats have already said they will buck on ANYTHING that Trump or the Republicans want.  ANYTHING.  So get ready because this country is going down.

           Democrats DO want border protection but a lame, stupid, mid-evil wall is not the answer.  Besides MEXICO IS supposed to pay for it, LOL.    In a few days Pelosi will be tearing lying moron FAT BUTT a new one.

pelosi is an anti American idiot.  By the time people quit being stupid and fighting and hating Trump and Republicans just because it is Trump or a Republican you are going to find yourself living in a slum 3rd world country where you have nothing. Have fun starving to death.

So, I wonder who this little president will blame this shut down on this time? He can't blame it on Obama anymore. Right!? I agree with the suggestion that we, cut down the pay for all government personal starting with this cry baby man child president! Also, we should charge, the correct tax percentage fees for the altura rich 1 percent American citizens first!

[JaniceSW]

Trump and the Republicans need to own the shutdown and its consequences.  It was a Republican House, a Republican Senate, and a Republican in the White House who said he would own it.  Imagine, another piece of garbage out of his mouth.  I'm still waiting for the check from Mexico to pay for it.  But no, the taxpayer would be paying for it, even after the national debt has risen to an all time high and healthcare, educations, and infrastructure need attention so badly.  Let's definitely put a wall up that can be tunneled under, flown over, use of a boat to get from the Mexican coast to US Gulf Coast, or bribes can be given to get people across...just to name a few. Trump continuously lies like a rug and nobody in his base seems to care that that is Trump's "business" plan.  Well. the world is watching and listening, including our allies!

lol.  People like you are part of the problem.  If you think obame was a good president then you have some serious issues.  You are so bent on blaming the party opposite of what you belong to you cannot see past your hate.  If people posted slurs against omabe like you are about Trump you would be screaming racist so fast it would make your head spin.

Get a clue.  He could care less if you cut his salary. HE does not accept his salary. He has donated every penny of his salary from being the president since his first pay check.  obame never done that.  This lies at the door of the democrats.  No one else.  They are the ones who will not give an inch.  They are the ones who have repeatedly said they will oppose ANYTHING that Trump tries to do.

It amazes me how people like you think you are entitled to what the rich have.  If I work hard and I have a bigger paycheck that you then good for me.  You don't deserve any of it.  There should be a flat tax.  x percentage.  The rich will pay more taxes because their paychecks are bigger.  But saying they should have to pay a higher percentage so you can have more entitlement benefits is insane.  SMH

I will agree that both parties have issues and they are all out for themselves but the dumocrats are just pure evil!

My personal feelings are that it is a disgrace that the politicians of our country forget who it is that they REALLY work for.

They do not work for the Democratic or the Republican parties .... They work for the PEOPLE of the United States of America and I think they need to be reminded of that. 

They all need to stop being over grown children and learn how to work together to better our country for the good of the American people.

I am not trying to be political in any way.  I'm just frustrated that the politicians can do what we elect them to do.

I agree with this. But it is like I have said over and over it is a party thing. And it goes way beyond just the government.  It goes all the way down to the common folk like me and you.  People hate you if you do not agree or line up with their political thoughts.  It can keep you from getting a job or anything else.

We need some kind of a border wall.  We cannot let all these illegals continue to flood our country and then suck us dry drawing welfare. And yes they do get welfare.  I know this for a fact.  Anyone who says we need no wall needs to have the front door taken off their house.  And the windows taken out as well.  You don't need doors or windows that lock.  And you need to let anyone that wants just walk in and set up camp in your home.

It is funny because obame has a ten foot wall around his private residence to keep people out. 

Mark my words - because it is going to happen - the fighting and refusing to compromise or work together is going to take this country down.

The food stamps and wic will not be effected.

Well, I am a federal worker contractor, and during the shutdown I am home, without pay, and because is a contract WE WILL NOT GET PAYBACK, so to all of you that say you do not care, please think of the families that have only 1 salary, do not get pay check now, we are on the 3rd week of the shutdownn for Christ sake.  I have to pay mortgage, utilities and eat and my paycheck is gone.

People needs to be a little bit compassionate of others and not selfish.  And I am not only talking about the government, all of them the Peesident, the congress the senate they are all sacrificing families for stupidities.  I am also talking about people who says WHO CARES, hopefully since some of you have jobs you can help me pay my bills.
