I remember they all got paid for the shutdown during the previous admin.
Most of them did.

Let them try.
The American people may have their eyes opened to numerous things, including what an “essential government job” is and that the Dems want to shut down the government to help a bunch of illegals but decried people like Rand Paul and Ted Cruz for shutting down the government in an attempt to stop Obamacare.
Christ, isn’t the guy who shovels elephant shite at the National Zoo considered essential?

Well then we need to fix why small business is so dependent on the federal government.

Yes. Our elephants can't be stepping in shite, and Washington DC certainly shouldn't maintain their own zoo.

I bet a large portion of the people in agriculture would consider the USDA-NRCS essential, but most of those employees will not be working if the government shuts down.
Hell, half of the farmers in south Louisiana probably wouldn't be farming today if it weren't for those programs.

Can Trump decree that any government employee whose job is affected by the shutdown will not receive backpay during the time that they are not at their jobs?
No he can't. It's a law that if Government employee aren't official notified 30 days before a government shutdown they are still to be paid.
We didn't get those letters.

Although the media will freak out about it if they can figure out a way to blame it on Trump.

No, that would be the pedophile supporting, war mongering, NRA loving sellouts called conservatives.

Why blame Democrats? The party of Putin and Pedophiles controls both Houses of Congress. All they have to do is vote.

Their calculation on this is wrong, however. They are trying to buffalo the republicans. A shut down over the criminal illegals is enormously unpopular.
