Shut it down.

@JohnWick-sl6xy

I love how they just take our money to keep themselves operational

@lesmoore3638

Thus ensuring that the stock market will continue to set record highs. Soon, you'll need millions to buy a car.

@ZackDuck-rm4dt

Why should i pay taxs when you guys just print money as needed? Edit: Lmao look at the comments, people will argue over anything with narcissistic levels of determination. Seriously I ask a simple question, and a war ensues. A hilarious war of people who are not economic experts, just keyboard warriors that think they know everything.

@LA_i6

Great plan. Im sure all the money will be audited and spent responsibly.

@davidreed3357

Same shit every quarter.

@scuttdamutt

Who voted for this because I’m sure taxpayers didn’t. Where is the money from taxes going that their could be a shutdown?

@mattposky2892

This will absolutely cause hyperinflation. We've already printed a staggering amount of money since 2021

@michaelm3505

I love how aware my fellow Americans are becoming. Were close. Keep waking up. Keep your eyes open. We are on the verge of something big

@had1toomany114

I have a plan. Quit giving away our money.

@jbatt6088

Might as well tell the American people that in order to avoid closing the United States corporation of America, we need to print and add 1.2 trillion more to the debt. Now think about it a company that's 30+ trillion dollars in debt is judging you/us by our credit score 🤔.

@pedrolabrada5591

Vote these clowns out of office!

@jeremys5904

Shut it down and fire all employees...they have proven they can not properly run this country.

@chriswood1210

Raise your hand if you believe that it would be better for this country if the government shuts down?👋🤚✋️

@josephpeluchette191

Only people ok with this bill don't buy groceries. Vote out every member of Congress that says yes

@DieselBaller420

How about, shrink the government!!!!!!!!!

@rawedawg0079

They don’t care what y’all believe or say nor who you vote for, they do what they’re told to remain in the position they have.

@Pyropete362

How about we just take the money from all the congressmen who get rich working in the gov😂

@bhhvvbvgyvbuvv

Maybe the government should just shutdown. Tired of this being over hyped every year

@basicfacekick

They won't shut down if it would impact their salaries and damage their donors. They'll kick the can further down the road and continue to represent us on the dumbest issues possible, meanwhile real issues go unsolved administration after administration and the economy fractures more. They'll slap duct tape on it and say it's "strong."
