>>105325316Mostly it's a budget thing
People can't work because they don't have the funding
Many of the politicians could, and are, continuing to work out resolutions and draft bills, but they can't actually do anything because everything they try to do wouldn't technically be legal
And everything that relies on federal money, everything that uses tax money, is shut down because they can't pay the workers
State and local stuff is "okay", but it's not like they won't be feeling the pressure soon enough
I'm really hoping trump just gives up or drafts a plan that takes money away from the military to put up the wall
The wall literally does nothing but it's a symbolic victory, so I feel like Democrats would be fine with funding a wall if you took 100 billion out of the defense budget and rerouted it to every other place
