Will House Republicans suffer or benefit from shutting down the government?

[Flash]

Oh the pain is happening right now. Fuel and food prices way up, with 33 trillion dollars of debt and billions added every day, just from interest. By next year the debt will be over 35 trillion dollars gasoline and food prices will double again, and then people are going to go vote.....

We have gone in debt $1.3 trillion in the last three months.

Nobody except the Freedom Caucus seems to give a shit. Certainly not the Democrats and the RINOs don't want to make waves.

The RINOs will extract a few minor budgetary concessions that may or may not ever be implemented and claim a great victory but not much, if anything, will change.

The rich and big business are paying lower taxes as well. Republicans did that.

Democrats compromised several times. They should not compromise on anything the House wants. Republicans should not be allowed to starve people who are struggling.

They absolutely should compromise and eliminate some of their favorite bullshit pork.

The problem with negotiating with vermin like the DNC is that they don’t negotiate in good faith and are ever ready to renege on their commitments.

Let us discuss the repercussions of a possible shut down by the House GOP.


This is uncharted territory, as there has never been a shutdown in my lifetime.

It appears that the ramifications are so minor, you never even noticed the shutdowns during your lifetime....

Examples:
16 days in 2013 under Obama...

35 days in 2018-19 under Trump (longest ever):

[Leviticus]

This is why we need a constitutional amendment that states plainly that members of congress do not get paid during a government shut down, And they don't get their money once the government reopens. They lose their money if they shut down the government. This amendment also needs to state that they don't get their travel or any of their other expenses paid for during a shutdown either. They have to pay for their own travel, Accommodations, And all they're spending.
