Trump and Government Shutdown
One thing I appreciate about the Trump Administration, is he’s been less of an asshole about the government shutdown,π© not unnecessarily shutting off government services during the temporary lapse in government funding. During the Government Shutdown during the Obama Administration, they not only shut down access to most of the federal parks,π they also shut off websites like that of US Census Bureau that could have been operating perfectly fine even with the furloughed government bureaucrats.
There areΒ many reduced government services and some areas closed during the shutdown, but in many ways the partial government shutdown under Trump is far less draconianπ then the one implemented by the Obama administration. While I think shutting down the government over the border wall is rather childish,Β πΆ I’d rather have a low-impact shutdown then one that maximizes the harm to the American people.π‘
I am in no way defending shutting the government for the stupid $15 billion money pit known as the border wall,π but I do support the smarter shutdown that is not unnecessarily closing down government programs that do not need government bureaucrats to administer them on a day-to-day basis.π
