  1. Im independent and in no way do i need government.

  2. Its easy to tell which morons posting here wear red hats … they're the ones who've been brainwashed into thinking that a shutdown is a good thing. (Must be a side-effect of Long COVID.)

  3. Shutdown parties are the go!❤

  4. I LOVE IT ? SHUT THE WHOLE GOV DOWN. I'M NOT DEFENDENT THAT MUCH ON GOV ANYWAY. I'M DOING MY BEST TO GET OFF THE GOV WRECK. PEOPLE WHO DEPEND ON GOV. WILL EVENTUALLY WILL LEARN. ALL 3 BRANCHES OF GOV BREAK BREAD TOGETHER AND EAT AT THE SAME DINNER TABLE. IT'S KINDA OF FUNNY THAT THE NEWS DOESN'T TALK ABOUT YOUR MONEY BEING TAKEN AWAY AND GOING TO C.B.D.C. ( CENTRAL BANK DIGITAL CURRENCY ) OR EATING LAB MEAT OR BUGS. NOT A MENTION ABOUT 15 MINUTE CITIES AND HAVING A R.F.I.D. CHIP EMBEDDED INTO YOUR HAND LIKE A LOST ANIMAL.. FAKE GOV = FAKE NEWS. NO FEAR HERE. LET THE GOV GO DOWN. IT JUST MIGHT WAKE PEOPLE UP. I'M FOR A GOV SHUT DOWN. WITH THE GOV RUNNING RIGHT NOW. AMERICA IS DOOMED TO BE A ONE WORLD ORDER ANYWAY.

    GOOD LUCK PEOPLE

  5. Shut it down for 6 months! I need a long vacation

  6. Means I don’t get a pay check. (I’m a fed employee) straight bs but I don’t support Ukraine so sucks overall

  7. Only in Merica!!🤦‍♂️

  8. The average productive citizen will not even know the government is "shutdown".

    Shut it down and keep it shut down.

    Thank you.

  9. I’d rather have this government shut down rather than operating. McCarthy should pass only funding bills for poll tested agencies and programs Americans really care about and nothing else. When the press comes calling, he could direct them to the Senate to find out why the programs aren’t funded. McCarthy should also spotlight all the fraud, waste and abuse. Dems would eventually panic and rush to make a deal. DO IT or else I will never give another damned dime.

  10. Lets take a vote on those three things! Instead of telling everyone most dont agree with them!

  11. MAGA Republicans = Domestic Terrorists
    What else would you call a handful of criminals that would hold the entire country hostage for their demands?

  12. I find it interesting that the only people concerned about a government shutdown, is the actual government.

  13. No more help for Urkraine, they need to fix something with Putin. We got a big problems on our hands and us first because of our budget and our lives ❤

  14. It's about to get real . First we say Goodbye to the Federal Government as it is Today .
    Next , if we do install a new president they must be Breathing .
    Second , we fix our state government .
    All of this will only be temporary until you all wrap your collective heads around what just happened .
    Blessings 💕

  15. No shutdown but progress.❤

  16. Sad to see that stuff that’s required for everyday living has way lower priority than having the ability wage wars across the globe. Does anyone remember when was the last time a war was fought on American soil?

  17. I’ve been unemployed since last February of 2022 again what does that mean for me the end?

  18. I’m unemployed what does that mean?

  19. Could mean actually nothing, unless our elected plan to spend billions more for other countries than ours.
    The elect don’t give a 💩 about our actual economy

  20. Republicans NEED to Stand their Ground, So Poor People can AFFORD to EAT Again. If Republicans don't Balance OR come close to Balancing the Budget the Federal Reserve could be FORCED to continue RAISING Interest Rates DEVASTATING Poor Folks who can't Afford the OUTRAGEOUS Democrat 20% OR Much More (like Eggs & Bread) Food Price Hikes & are putting it on their Credit Cards at a Whooping RIDICULOUS 23% OR More. That's not to mention the Preposterous 61% Biden Crude Oil Production CUTS Gas Price Hikes while Real Wages continue to DECLINE for 30 Months Straight & Counting with literally NO End in sight, Whatsoever. In my humble opinion it's a Crime Against Humanity & Republicans NEED to STOP 🛑 the MADNESS, Enough is Enough. It's Time to Hold Democrat Klan Responsible for their Abuses once & for ALL.

  21. Man, Biden needs to close the border. He is harming American citizens.

  22. How about congress don't get paid and everyone else below congress should continue to get their paychecks why do essential employees have to go to work and not get paid when Congress is getting paid for not doing their jobs! They've had months to get a budget passed if you ain't doing your job you shouldn't get paid.

  23. A shutdown for me would mean temp STOP of adding to the $33 Trillion in national debt

  24. Stand your ground …shut it down

  25. Let the government shutdown take place but pay the military. Don't pay the lawmakers. Close the border and cut off public assistance which will force people to go to work instead of rewarding them for playing the system. Maybe then they will understand what it's like to be taxed while big government does nothing for hard-working citizens.

  26. Remember ukraine will still get money if the government is shut down because our politicians hate us

  27. Bet the stupid IRS won't shut down
