    I was hoping a big government supporter like @Crepitus, @Agent Zero or even @AZ Jim can tell us what kind of hardship they have been forced to endure because government supposedly shut down for a short period of time.


    The WWII vets being treated like vermin was indefensible, but not a true hardship. That was just blatant disrespect.

    A government action with paid personnel had to take place to close them and keep people away. So, that's not really a good example of government shutting down.

    So then blocking them off saying that they are closed is a political stunt?

    Don't worry about me, troll. I'm on paid leave for thirty days, go back to work on the 7th of Jan.

    The WWII vets being treated like vermin was indefensible, but not a true hardship. That was just blatant disrespect.

    It looks like we will have yet another so called Governmemt shut-down. Other than a coulple of national parks or monuments, I'm not quite sure what actually shuts down, but that's another issue.


    Lets say the shut down does actually happen. What hardships do you expect to experience personally? Do you expect to survive if it lasts more than a few days? How did you survive that last ten or twelve shut-downs? Did any of the past shut-downs have a negative impact upon your life?


    If this is such an issue, when will people ever demand that we quit funding government through the Continuing Resolution process?


    If you are of the liberal persuasion, is this a big deal? If it is, why?
    Your president said today he wants to let the government shut down. He even offered to own it.

    Senior senators on both sides of the aisle where left dumbfounded on Tuesday by President Trump’s fiery threat to partially shut down the government unless he gets the money he wants for a border wall, which is unlikely.
    Republican leaders have spent weeks trying to steer the president away from a government shutdown, but all that work went out the window earlier in the day when Trump declared in front of television cameras that he would be “proud” to shut down the government over border security.



    “I am proud to shut down the government for border security, Chuck, because the people of this country don’t want criminals and people that have lots of problems and drugs pouring into our country,” Trump told Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) while cameras were still in the room before a scheduled meeting.

    Ok, let's say it happens. Just what do you suppose will actually shut down and do you expect people won't survive? How did they survive in the past?
