Shutting down the authorities is not an result President Trump wants. It is not an result Senate Republicans want. It costs wealth to unopen down the government. And it costs much wealth to reopen the government. 

Americans privation to extremity the wasteful Washington spending. They privation Washington, D.C., to enactment for them – not for itself.
