What a complete waste of time, resources and responsibility! The government shut down has accomplished nothing just proved how inept our “representatives” are. Well, it also proved we can do without most services of the “federal government” and manage just fine. The Democrats could have accomplished the exact same goal by just emphasizing “health care” costs in the next election without proving their ineptness. G-D willing the American people will realize in 2026 what a complete waste of time this shutdown was and have those voting for it seeking new jobs where they’d actually have to work.
