At least the Biden administration has guaranteed that Ukraine will continue to receive billions while federal employees and contractors won't. That is sure to assure the millions of Americans impacted that Joe has his priorities straight.
Who will the American public blame for the shutdown, Republicans or Biden?
Most will. Perhaps that is a good thing? Will see how it pans out. A significant percentage of Americans rely on government paychecks. Stopping those for any long term period would fundamentally change America. Perhaps for the good?Mrkelly » 25 Sep 2023, 2:44 pm » wrote: ↑ most Americans probably just roll their eyes when they hear "shutdown"
The rest will just go to their corners and defend their side
That wasn't the last one. Obama SPENT money to make sure Americans knew they were hurt from his shutdown. Parks existed for thousands of years without the need for a government lackey collecting your $10. Even if a long term argument could be made, allowing Americans free access to American national parks at no charge was cheaper than throwing up barricades. That cost money. Doubt many a **** would be given if ranger Rick wasn't standing by to tax you for access to federal land.RebelGator » 25 Sep 2023, 3:02 pm » wrote: ↑ During the last shutdown, public parks were closed, even the unattended ones were barricaded........if that happens again, we need another 1776.

They'll be completely cool about it, so long as israel is still getting paid and the biden crime family is still able to get their money over to ukraine.
It's damn near like they're in it together, y'know?
