@whodey Your taxes are already gone. Any taxes taken out of your paycheck will go to IRS coffers and won't be going to pay hundreds of thousands of government workers, in fact, airport checkers are working without pay for the duration.
But you already know all that and instead THINK you are being clever.

Those are just the paedophiles satisfying their urge to feel up kiddies. As with any shut down they will be paid, along with all those that simply stayed home, when the shut down ends.

What I find surprising about this whole shutdown-every-other-minute business is that apparently no one seems to think that it would be a good idea to, I don't know, not have them anymore? I'm pretty sure the last one they had here was in 1945. Even in freaking Belgium when they had a caretaker government for a year they had no "government shutdown" or anything like it.

Welcome to the new world dis-order, based no longer on stability, shared interests and cooperation, but rampant Trumpism:
@kazetnagorrasaid The Roman Empire was as its peak territorial extent in 117 AD. It collapsed in 1453.
Well the HRE may have gone down in 1453 but Rome lost it around 440 AD or so, which left a huge vacuum in Europe and England. it took them a thousand years to get over THAT hangover.
