Shutdowns are not new w/ Trump, there have been 22 of them since the 70's. Pretty much there is a threat of one every year at budget time.

not saying it doesn't suck, but it's pretty much life as a Gov Contractor.

The issue with the shutdown is the reason why we have the shut down

We all have seen them . It’s the why is the issue

We’re in a crisis so bad I needed to speak from the Oval Office .... but also need to keep some of people involved on the front lines in the fight , not working , not paid Because it’s a national emergency ????
