Yippie new record incoming
Let’s all give it up for day 6!
So what are the chances trumps shutdown ends anytime soon?
T-18 days until I miss my first paycheck. I think the second missed paycheck will be the tipping point.
Day 6. I nearly remembered the word ‘government’ but then luckily Trump’s reeducation committee reminded me that there was no such thing
Oh wait
I used it again
No no no! Don’t send me back
The US system is fundamentally broken. As far as I know the US is the only country in the world where a government shutdown is possible.
In parliamentary countries like Australia and Canada if the supply bill that funds government doesn’t pass it triggers a double dissolution and fresh elections are held.
In other countries failure to pass a budget means the budget stays as it was until a new budget is passed. In all cases, federal employees keep getting paid.
