Will the Government Be Open in a Week? Here Are the Dividing Lines

The Trump administration wants to use the deadline as leverage on a border wall, military spending, health care and more, raising the prospects of a shutdown.

A shutdown is likely.
A shutdown is not a disaster to the frugal government crew that Trump's election has placed in power.

Rational politicians will recognize it as a disaster.
Wise politicians will note that the disaster will rest with the Republicans. 
Let the red states notice that all the federal programs will go away.
The military will not be paid.
The highways will not be repaired.
The border patrol will not be paid
The farm subsidies will not be paid.
The airlines will not fly.
Amtrak will not run.
Most hydropower will not be generated.
The river locks and dams must be closed.
Most oil production must cease.
National Parks and forests will be closed.
The T.V.A. must shutdown
The V.A. will not operate.
The ports will be closed
The I.C.C. will be closed.  Interstate trucking will cease.
The N.T.S.B. will close most railroads.
The department of agriculture will close the meat industry.
The Postoffice.
The F.C.C.     Telephone, internet, radio and television.
Occupational safety and health. factories and mines.
The despised E.P.A.
The list goes on.
