As of today, the current Democratic Shutdown has lasted 15 days. A little over two weeks, and this shutdown has become the second longest in the nation's history.
It's totally worth it. The big government bloat has taken too much of our nation's money and taken taxpapyers for all they are worth and then some.
With record tax revenue collections flowing into the treasury, and with the utmost need to secure our borders with a wall, there is no reason for the federal government to be funding all these other non-essential liabilities.

Here are the talking points to consider going forward with the current shutdown:
1. This shutdown belongs to the Democratic Party–all of
it. Border security, including a strong physical barrier along the Southern
border, is essential. The Democrats in Congress, in both chambers, voted for
the fence ten, fifteen years ago.

Now, suddenly they don't want to build the wall?
2. I hope that this shutdown lasts for months. If the government does
not secure our borders, that is essentially a government shutdown. Case closed,
do not pass go, do not collect $200.

3. All the federal workers furloughed at this time? They are
non-essential employees! If they do not want to be furloughed, not get paid,
etc., they need to get out of Washington and get a real job in the real world!

economy does. The less money that they are spending, the fewer programs which
are funded

5. The economy is roaring into a greater strength than ever before. I
doubt that we will see a recession this year. President Trump still has a phone
and a pen to do what is needed within constitutional parameters.

6. The wall, the security of our nation's borders, is too commonsense
an expectation, and the President knows it. He has already compromised on the
funding, going from $25 billion to $5 billion.

7. This is going to be quite interesting, to say the least!
Shutdown? What Shutdown?!
Everyone is winning!
The country is still moving along just fine without DC. And that's the
way it should be.
