$24 Billion lost
Job growth cut by 120,000
Millions have their Winter holidays ruined.
Not everyone will be compensated, after the shutdown is over.

People who don’t work for the government at all can have their incomes yanked
Matthew Shapiro, professor of economics at the University of Michigan, did some of that research, and he says government contractors have it even worse.

Donald Trump became infamous because of lawsuits filed by people that worked for him.
He is utterly indifferent, about what happens to flesh and blood Americans.
Sadly, it is win/ win for Trump.
Government shutdown is a government slowdown.
It allows The Blithering, Blundering, Orange Ignoramus to tip-toe away from inconvenient truths, for the moment.
Donald "Cadet Fake Bone Spurs" Trump flew away from the body of dead boy, and into the arms of military troops stationed outside of the USA.

Photo-op! Propaganda session, and news room fodder.
Must keep Gremlin Brigade fed with bullshit images and double-think.
One branch of the military isn’t getting paid during Donald Trump’s government shutdown: The Coast Guard is funded through the Department of Homeland Security, not the Department of Defense. That means about 44,000 Coast Guard members working without pay and another 6,000 furloughed. They’ll be missing their first paychecks on January 1, according to a Coast Guard spokesperson.
