Actually congress is still getting full pay regardless of the shutdownhttps://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/22/how-much-members-of-congress-get-paid-even-when-the-government-is-shut-down.html
These shutdowns are ridiculous, we are losing millions of dollars from the economy because of this shutdown and while they all still get paid, people who get military death benefits don't. The IRS is shutdown so taxpayers cant get their tax return down (Federal). It so stupid these idiots keep holding the country hostage, because of extremist politics.
So the last shut down was cause by republicans wanting to get rid of the healthcare bill and now the democrats are doing it for illegal immigrants/dreamers for deca correct? Its just ridiculous this happened a second time in five years. Before this we hadn't had shutdown since 95'. so stupid.
These issues are important, but there is no reason fo this
