Government Shutdowns and Economic Pain
By John F. Di Leo
The federal government has been shut down for a month now.
The leftists primarily responsible for it.
The Democrat minority in the U.S. Senate – are hoping that, politically, the pain inflicted by this shutdown will net out to be a political benefit to the Democratic Party.
Will it?
We don’t really know. You don’t find out for sure where the political fallout landed until long after an event is over, when future elections, long term polling results, and the historians have all had their say.
But there are two groups we are expected to look at first:
First, the federal employees. Hundreds of thousands of government employees – not all of them, but a lot of them – are going without paychecks.
Some of them have savings just for this sort of occurrence, so they were ready for it, and they’re confident that in the end, their pay will be restored retroactively. That’s how it’s always been before, after all, though this is a very new and different year.
