Chances for government shutdown rising
By Scott Wong - 11/28/17 08:01 PM EST

The odds of a government shutdown grew dramatically Tuesday as President Trump tweeted that he saw no path to a year-end deal with Democrats “Chuck and Nancy,” who then promptly backed out of a meeting at the White House.

Shortly after Trump’s “I don’t see a deal!” tweet, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) said they didn’t see the point of sitting down with Trump.

“If the President, who already said earlier this year that ‘our country needs a good shutdown,’ isn’t interested in addressing the difficult year end agenda,” the Democrats said in a statement, “we’ll work with those Republicans who are, as we did in April.”

   I'm old enough to remember when this was cool in Shutdown Filibusters.

I doubt I will miss it. Democrats shut down government like 8 or more times under Reagan. Let 'Em go for it.

First thing Trump needs to do is shut down all obamaphones and redirect all their calls to the appropriate ghetto lords in the House and Senate. .......I'm Sorry, democrats have shut down your phone, you will be redirected to the appropriate democrat Representative for an explanation why

Oh Lucy..you have some S'plainin' to do. Why my phone be off... jus sos you can give my shit to illegal mexicans?

Should be intrestin'.

Is there really any reason to care about this?

I thought "the government that governs least, governs best".

Well... a government that's "shut down" is probably governin' best of all!

I know of two projects that will lose financing if this happens, as they will not be able to get their permits within deadline.  It's a sad state of affairs when private business is hurt by the shutdown of government.

Government shutdown is a misnomer as not everything shuts down in every agency.  Most if not all of the agencies maintain "essential" personnel on the job to cover "essential" services.

So let's shut it down, find out who is 'essential", and fire everyone else!

Thanxs guys. Would be far more effective than trying to block open air monuments like obama tried to do.
