Amen....amen......BEST PRESIDENT ........E V E R !!!!!

And all the fast food you can imagine!

Exactly right. They would make it permanent if they could.

We should all want that. Government is bloated and out of control. Reckless and wasteful spending is rampant. $4 trillion in spending....

Need to make them terminations, not furloughs.

At the expense of him not being re-elected. I’m not complaining. 🤷‍♀️

GOP want the shutdown to continue.

A smaller government is not a bad thing.

remember s bannon's (voice of neo Nazism) promise to use this admin to 'deconstruct the administrative state' … he is an enemy of the republic

Trump is benefiting from this

DPAQreport Smaller Government is a good thing!

Yes it does actually! Problem though is as soon as they open back up those people get back pay so it’s really not affecting the size at all is it?

To capture the essence of the state just look at what instituions are still running during the shutdown because they are deemed essential...

Less food safety, less safety in air travel, national parks swollen with garbage, unpaid TSA. The small you ordered.

and crippling 3rd world nation delivery of government services for citizens.

Especially Trump’s puppet master, Vladimir Putin. Trump has worked out magnificently for Russia. Not so much for US Citizens or the Constitution for which the traitor took an Oath to protect. 😐🇺🇸

Working for no pay? Lost you home? Got to senatemajldr house. He has abused his seat and has lots of government and Russian money. MitchShutdown

ResignNowTrump

The big government is part of the problem!

Obviously, there are numerous nonessentials in Government & our nation better served if they moved to the private sector. More jobs out there than qualified people.

....except that it shutters 60% (9 of 15) cabinet level depts. Not good at all.

EXACTLY !! A smaller government is the correct answer here. Good job WaPo..first correct headline in months. recognized yespeopledocare if what they're reading is real or fakenews... keep it up, all streaks begin with the first one.

TRUMP has only ONE

Proving small government doesn't work.

Hey! Don’t try and silver line Trumps shutdown. This is hurting Americans for no reason. People can’t afford rent, mortgages, food, medicine. This is going to ruin people’s credit and lives if dragged on much further.

Thought they wanted safety... TSA calling out isn't safe, ATC & Coast Guard working for $0 is not safe. Desperate people wondering how to put food on the table is not safe... End the TrumpShutdown

They want to drown the government in a bathtub until their constituents realize they are losing benefits and services.

Less government is a bad thing. We need to stick together, these are very difficult times. Do not give cause for enemies. USA together,a single nation,the army and the people,the people with the army!

Trump doesn't give a damn about national security. Sharing private meeting with Russians, revealing classified information, crippling the effective parts of border security for the McGuffin of a useless, outdated wall. Meanwhile, lessened border patrols, Coast Guard, TSA, FAA.

Yes, Yes- The less government the better they like it, starve the beast has been their motto for a long time.

Neglect and dysfunction is not the way to achieve a smaller government. The cost to repair the damage to our government post-Trump will cost more than any savings.

REMOVE ALL REPUBLICANS ALL GUILTY OF COLLUDING WITH RUSSIA ....

Less is more. Most of our government is unconstitutional.

And Putin what he wants, the collapse of the American Economy.

You got THAT RIGHT!😉

Please save that BS and open the Govt...

Until they don’t get their subsidy or other government benefit, then they’ll squeal.

“Starve the beast” - treasonous when Reagan popularized it, and treasonous now.

In democracy, politicians always win and voters always lose

Ex-Trump lawyer: Rigging polls 'was at the direction of' TrumpMichael Cohen said on Thursday he paid a firm to manipulate online polling data 'at the direction of and for the sole benefit of' President Trump. Polls were never in Trump's favor. How does this even make sense? Nate Silver even bet against him. Nonetheless, if true, who cares? Notice everyone that trashes Trump were ex this and former that – sore losers if you ask me. Why did they not express their opinions then? Because they knew he was right! Now? They need publicity to find a job… so they trash. Typical socialist Liberal crappers
