Retro active pay is already approved, so nothing saved there. Now factor in revenue loss at the parks for example. Losing money

It’s government. They’ll find a way to waste money either way.

Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.

- Chinese proverb

These fights are almost always over how much to raise the debt. So no, it will not save money.

One could argue that the 600+ point drop in the market today was mostly because of the shutdown, so that is a lot of money spread out among a lot of people that have nothing to do with federal jobs. It could come back tomorrow, wanna take any bets on if that is going be the case?? And I will give all the other drops in the market lately to other reasons, but this day today is most likely on the shutdown...

And I will be going to a national park, going in and not paying the fees, so I got that going for me...

Are you doing the "First Hike" next Tuesday? Those are free.

But it would seem if they are shutdown, its saving us money cause we are not paying anyone.


Trump really is brilliant.

This. Our government has found a way to lose money selling weed.

If there is money to be lost, the government will go the extra mile to make sure it is lost. Then spend more money on an audit to ensure it was actually lost. Then spend money on a multi year long enquiry looking in to why more wasn't lost, laying out solutions to ensure that more money can be lost on future endeavours.
