This is hilarious.

Shutdowns always cost the government money. Always.

The main drivers of federal
Spending are social security and Medicare spending. Those continue even in a shutdown. He could fire every single federal employee and we will still have a huge deficit.

You know how much the deficit is under trump already this year? Over $2 trillion. You know how much the US spends on federal employees? $300 bn.

MAGA Morons fail at math again.

Ridiculous. Shut it down. They can fire people, who will then sue them and get their jobs back. We've been paying federal worker for up to six months to sit at home and now Trump is quietly bringing them back. It's all a sham. So, the Dems should not worry about this dumb @ss threat.

+1 call his bluff.

Until his 6 whackjob intellectually challenged cronies on the Supreme Court decide that that he does have the authority to fire all federal employees.

The dems won't help and the GOP can't govern.

So the Democrat plan is to "own" MAGA by refusing to help and hurt the country?

Why on earth do the dems have to help the repugnants? They have all of the branches of government and are f#cking the American people every day. YOU own this. ALL of it.

Huh? The Treasury isn't essential.

They'll all be fired.

MAGA doesn’t understand the gov. Dummies.

Well clearly they skipped history and civics classes....I wished they'd stop skipping their meds.

Republicans have the majority in Congress and the WH. If they need Dems to vote for their bill, they need to work with Dems.

I find the good test is "how would I feel if the parties were reversed?" And the PP needs to think about that. R's have the majority and if they want a deal, then reach across the aisle and find some common ground. Ditch the rhetoric. Act like leaders for a change.

Otherwise, Dems have seen their meeting with POTUS cancelled and been told that R's will not work with them. Ok. Then you own it.

They need 60 votes in the senate, per the US Constitution.

At every other turn, when the roles were reversed, the Democrats negotiated with the GOP.

As it is, after DOGE, there are scores of federal employees being brought back after getting a paid 7 month vacation. How is that for being a savvy businessman?
