You know how GOPers think government is too big?

How it's over-funded and full of waste? That the best thing would be to shrink it down?

I think they're going to find out just how necessary many of our government facilities are: the TSA, the IRS, the National Park Service, the CHIP program, etc etc.

It will be a lesson to them but hurt us all.

The newly approved mega millions for the farm aid program plus farm loans will not be administered during the shutdown. If this isn't enough to turn some of them against Trump, nothing will.

IRS goes defunct due to mass resignations by unpaid workers. Drumpf is talking shutdown could go on for a year!
