What part of the Federali Gov is Shut Down?

[JimBowie1958]

Well, it is interesting that most of the government not aligned with the GOP traditionally is getting the brunt of this shut down.

Primer: What Happens During a Partial Government Shutdown

Government agencies that have not received funding include the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Interior Department, the State Department, the Agriculture Department, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), among other federal agencies....

During a government shutdown, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney runs, issues guidance to each agency to develop its own shutdown plan. In a shutdown, federal agencies must stop all “nonessential” work, and all non-employees must stay home until the shutdown ends....

The shutdown will end when President Trump signs a spending bill passed by Congress. Former President Bill Clinton experienced the longest government shutdown at 21 days.

Essential government services will continue, which include:

• The U.S. Postal Service will remain open and deliver mail.
• The Transporation Security Administration (TSA) will continue to provide security, especially for air travel.
• The government will continue to provide Social Security checks.
• Medicare and Medicaid coverage will continue.
• Special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation will continue.
• Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents at America’s border and American troops at the border will continue securing the border.
• The Smithsonian and the National Zoo will remain open through January, using prior-appropriated funds.

Some minor government services will close during the partial shutdown. The Agriculture Department will close its state and local farm service centers across the country. The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) might slow down loan processing, and approvals and new loan applications may not be considered until after the shutdown.​

When did we start "aligning" government departments with political parties?

 

[Hossfly]

When did we start "aligning" government departments with political parties?

When the Justice Department fell in with Hillary and let her skate. That's just one.

Haha, thanks Hoss. But I meant, in the real world.

 

[Nosmo King]

The government is shut down because we are not paying for a wall we were told we wouldn’t have to pay for.

Trump said he would take the mantle. He would not blame Democrats for the shutdown.

Then he started to blame Democrats for the shutdown.

At his rallies the crowds.would yell ‘build the wall!’ And Trump would call.back ‘Who’s going to pay for the wall?’

And the crowd would respond ‘Mexico!’

Now the crowds have forgotten. Is it right that when asked ‘Who’s going to pay for the wall?’ they shout ‘American taxpayers and federal employees!’?

Perhaps Mexico went the way of "John Miller" and "John Barron". Unpersons who never existed.

In the real world? That's easy. When Trump failed to have all the Obama holdovers fired. True story.

The difference is that Trump won't deliberately inconvenience the public.

Ah, but "Obama" isn't a political party. Truer story.

The question stands, unmolested: how can government shut down or not shut down one of its agencies --- not 'holdovers' but departments --- based on some imaginary "alignment with the GOP", whatever that is?

You'll notice the OP, who floated this concept, won't touch it. Guess he wants somebody else to flush.

Riots Loom As Food Stamp Cash Will Run Out By End Of January If Government Shutdown Continues

"According to the Department of Agriculture, if this government shutdown stretches into February there won’t be money for food stamps.

"And it certainly looks like this shutdown could last for quite a while, because President Trump is not backing down on his demand for border wall funding, and the Democrats have pledged not to give him a single penny.

"So a few weeks from now, approximately 38 million people could be suddenly cut off from the food stamp program.

"If that scenario were to unfold, there is no telling what could happen. After just a few days, government workers are already freaking out about having their paychecks delayed.

"If people are getting this restless already, what will things look like when tens of millions of Americans are suddenly cut off from their primary source of food money?"

MAGA, yet?

 

[jasonnfree]

And then God (Trump) asked his followers dozens of times.....'And who's gonna pay for the wall?' .......and said followers who were anxious to get to the promised land then shouted 'Mexico'. Not once, not twice, but many times.

Pretty simple.

I don't get how ANY American could be against securing our borders. What is it that you hate about secure borders?

I agree. Every single American should want that wall. It would save the tax payers billions every year. Money that could be used for something else.

Oh kids don't need jobs. Their parent do.

I know loads of elderly who work.

I also know many disabled who work.

AS for the LFPR. I'd say Trumps is quite good. I know Obama had loads of people looking for jobs and there weren't any.

LFPR in November 2016 and 2017 was 62,7%
LFPR in November 2018 is 62.9%

It is very interesting how libs downplay the idea of angry war veterans making demands but start into 'The natives be gettin' all riled up!' whenever there is any threat to welfare programs, lol.
