All too sad to be believed. MAGA House members are evidently poorly educated about economics, or don’t give (as A.B. Stoddard would say) a rat’s ass about their constituents’ wellbeing. They should lose their pay for twice as long as a shutdown goes on, then be fired for incompetence or better still sent into exile for attacks on the American people. Their actions will once again cause our international credit rating to be downgraded--at a minimum--and some have opined that a shutdown could lead to a recession. Good luck with that. Maybe they will do so much damage that Trump will stand no chance of re-election.
