Government shut downs are a fucking joke. They will shut down the gov, nothing will change, then they open it up and give everyone back pay who was laid off. Waste of time and money.
I want to see a bill where when the government shuts down, NO ONE GETS PAID. Then perhaps it will be a useful tool.
The fact that everything continues to operate just fine when the fed is shut down is just more evidence to the fact that they all need to be laid off.
They even go as far as trying to make things not operate on purpose. Putting barriers around parks and shit. Ridiculous.
They literally threatened to arrest people in dc for mowing around the Lincoln memorial.
