My immediate reaction to Schumer's "Yes vote" was WHAT!!?? Then I did some reading and realized that, if the government did shut down, it would allow the Orange S.O.B. to destroy our government faster and even more out of sight. OK.
Here is another distasteful reason to keep the government working. I prefer to think about who will be protected, rather than who gains:

I don't want to give them any ideas. But I lived through times when judges were not deemed "necessary" to govenment functions, when our entire staff was included, etc.
I was involved in litifgation vs Obama's DOL -- and we lost. BTW we were never repaid for the time lost.
Yes, follow the money. There is a reason he flipped at the last minute. I agree with Thom, he has to go. I'm done with holding the party together mentality, this is how we got here to begin with. As for Trump, I'm not a Trumper but I have to give him credit, he lied about A LOT, but not about what he was going to do when in office.
He stated 'Dictator on Day One' and this is what we are getting, can't say he lied about that, and I know that with all the voter purges etc. he technically did not win, but he still had 77 million votes!
He DID lie. His strings are being pulled by Koch's A.L.E.C. , the Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society, Leonard Leo. You haven't heard from any of these groups since the election, have you?? They are NOT on vacation. The goal is to eviscerate the government and PRIVATIZE EVERYTHING. A Libertarian's dream. The Post Office is on its way, Social Security also, The Weather Service. They are firing all the meteorologists ... who do you think will be forecasting hurricanes?? Why a private company will be selling its services to the government and making a healthy profit.
My point is, he stated he was going to do all of that during his rally’s, and then I’m not even mentioning the fact that he incited an insurrection. The fact that he was even allowed to run is HUGE. He promised retribution, he stated dictator on day one - given the history what else do we need to know?I don’t have to wake up, I’m fully awake thank you.

Trump is already shutting down our country and in broad daylight at that. What more harm could he do if the CR wasn't passed.?
I will answer my own question. Nothing, nada, zilch
You are right but I think it will be faster and farther from sight!

I'm afraid you don't know what you don't know.
My thoughts exactly.
