Government shutdown

[Ozoron]

I've seen a lot of interesting theories pop up lately but I wouldn't bet money on any of them happening. What are your guys thoughts on it?

I didn't know about that particular detail but my suspicion has always been something along those lines. Democrat politicians want bigger/more government. While the news focuses on broadly applicable consequences like the TSA, the most profound effects I expect will disproportionately affect democrat citizens who tend to be more heavily affected due to interest/use of government programs. Everything seems to be in the red team's favor during a battle of attrition. Even in the most basic sense, eventually the cost of the shutdown will exceed the cost of his demand.

Yep, well said. I know its a meme about Trump and 4D chess, but the guy has never had to struggle to make them look stupid.
