Most federal workers are not based in DC.
1/3 of federal workers are veterans.
Many small businesses rely on a customer base of federal workers who are not spending their money right now during the shutdown.
But sure, go ahead and sneer at those affected by the shutdown.
You mean, not spending the taxpayers' money.
It's the taxpayers' money.
Not the federal beauracrats', and not the contractors.
Just like your salary is actually the money of customers who pay your company for its services.

Those of you saying you won’t feel the effects- I work on offshore oil and gas. 8.9 billion to the Treasury in FY 18. https://www.onrr.gov You really think you won’t miss that? What about the IRS? You won’t miss that tax revenue?

Some victory for Trump. He managed to negotiate $25 billion down to $ 5 billion or 1 billion or whatever crumbs he'll get. And you think the Democrats are the ones caving?

I don't know what Schemer is, but the President of the United States said on national television that this would be his shutdown and he would claim responsbility for it.
I love it, and I suspect many voters outside DC love it too.

Even I know that, and I have no cable, watch no news... And what I read online says, Democrats are hoping to put a stop to this when they take over next week! Was that not on Fox?
The dems will pass the same bill the GOP Senate supported and this will end.
Except the new Senate will have to take it up again and pass it. McConnell won't bring it to the floor for a vote now b/c Trump is opposing it. And even IF it passed and was signed, it would only push the same fight to the end of Feb. So, no...it's not over when the Dems take the House.
That is why I wrote HOPING to put a stop....

A CR is hardly a solution. It only kicks the can down the road.

They are not returning until after the first of the year.
So, the answer is, no, I'm not as stupid as you are.
So you blame the shutdown on the minority party. Ok, then.
