This is the longest Government shutdown ever. Really. They have never been closed this long. Personally, I like the Government is shut down. I’m always hard-pressed to answer the question, what does the Government do well? With the doors closed, I at least know they’re not doing anything stupid with my money. What I don’t like is the financial devastation of the 800,000 Government employees, not to mention millions of contractors who are now out of a job or forced to work without compensation. Trump wants $5 billion to build the border wall between the United States and Mexico. Congress refuses to fund it. Both sides are digging their heels in. Plain and simple. $5 billion is a lot of money to you and me, and it really should be a lot of money to the Government, but….. But they, the Government, are almost $22 trillion in debt as it is. They add another trillion each year. In other words, this disagreement is over a Government expenditure which equals .02% of our national debt. Don’t they have bigger problems? Tens of millions of Americans are relying on Social Security for their retirement, and it’s currently underfunded by $50 trillion according to the Government’s own estimates. That’s (no exaggeration here) 10,000 times larger than the border wall fight. Do they shut down the Government to solve THAT problem? Granted, it seems ridiculous to think Congress cares about the American people since they clearly don’t even care about their own employees. They’ve put millions of people out of work now over a comparably negotiable sum. The nerve of the politicians getting on their high horse and faking moral superiority. I hate the Government and their flagrant spending. They clearly have no respect for taxpayers or they would squeeze every penny. If they had any respect for their own workers, they wouldn’t let $5 billion stop millions of paychecks these people depend on to pay their rent. Don’t fool yourself, this shutdown isn’t even about money. It’s a fight of ideas. The truth is, they are building a wall, brick by brick. Each member of Congress, each politician is helping. But it’s not what you think…. Behind this wall, this dummy crisis is the real catastrophe. The national debt is 4,400 bigger than the wall. The Social Security crisis is 10,000 bigger than the wall. The Government would love for you to be fooled by this fake problem, but remember, if you rely on them for anything, they have no problem throwing you or anyone else under the bus to further their own agenda.
