The Congressional Budget Office estimated the longest shutdown in U.S. history came at a price: an $11 billion cost to the economy, $3 billion of which will never be recovered.

American workers/employees/ employers need a monetary award from Uncle Sam of $225.000 in a lump sum, after 140 months of being on the job and schooling. The school part will start at 3rd grade thru high high school, and will also include vocational school, college, and military service. All employment is included. The printing and issuance of money is validated by any legitimate labor and production, for payroll purposes. Taxpayers money is only used for specific items, such as the purchase of the finished product, pensions and welfare. Contact your U.S. Congressman, one that you believe in, for an exceptional bill in Congress.
All of these comments are the exact comments made when Obama was in office. It doesn’t matter who’s in office. Nothing ever changes.
How much has the government cost our economy with the War on Drugs? How much with the prison-industrial complex? The medical-industrial complex? The educational-industrial complex? Or, the 800 military bases scattered across the globe while the Pentagon can't complete an audit? #BreadAndCircus
I blame the Democratic chauvinistic puppets.
A man willing to pay 1 billion is willing to pay 2.
If you freeze congresses paychecks until something is decided on the wall it would be over in a couple days.
At least it's open and a good deal is on it's way!
Sounds good 😛😀just no profit and consider a lost.🤣😂
@1:00 welcome to being poor in America, save your money. Don't pay bills you dont need to survive.
A simple question where is the 5 billion dollars going to come from?
Cracks me up! Are y’all really surprised!! W’ve been had a corrupted system Both Dems and Republican. To many money power hungry tyrants running our government! Wall funding should’ve been implemented decades ago. We wait all the way until 2019 to bitch about a wall and cause US citizens to suffer!! I’m not much on politics but I’m not surprised at all!! none of you should be either!! I blame the officials who has ran our government into the ground! President and all! Implementing false platforms. This is America! That dam wall will cost more than 5billion $$ mark my words!!
He is a DUMBASS
SO, is cheaper than 5.7 B, so why DEM Rats give to him – Use your logic to protect the country, do not cry for no reason Idiot left.
But you guys feel this right? This could have been prevented if he had his wall but the dems wouldn’t give it to him. This is the Democrats fault change my mind.
There are two problems here. First, the Democrats promised to address "Wall" funding early last year. Unfortunately they didn't follow through. The other problem is that we have a child in the Presidency that has consistently thrown temper tantrums his whole life if he did not get what he wanted. Many people who refused to knuckle under were sued, fired, and who knows what else. Now he causes families to worry about how they are going to pay their mortgage, pay for health costs, and how to fee their children. I always knew Trump was heartless, but the Democrats are no better.
Where is the compromise that should be going in both parties. My thought is that the Democrats authorize 1 billion dollars every quarter to pay for the wall and border security. That means that in a year and a half, the wall should be done, and Trumps temper tantrums soothed. Come on. Are we going to continue to be the laughing stock of the World? Is our own government so inept that they cannot govern anymore because politics trump, actually doing what is best for the American people, which includes "The Wall"?
My own opinion is that during the next two elections, we get rid of career politicians in Washington, and install people who WILL follow through on what we elected them to office for, representing the American People. Right now these politicians represent their own selfish interests, and their constant craving for money and power. Our founding fathers would have all of them lined up against a wall and shot for what they are doing to our country.
If only both parties worked together for a change, that would be nice.
Shutdown was a distraction. He lifted sanctions on Russian companies right after opening the government which a very few noticed. Impeach him. There’s already enough grounds to impeach this traitor. I wonder what there waiting for. Act before this idiot completely destroys the country.
Trump should start a fundraiser campaign to pay for his wall that promise he said Mexico was going to pay for.
Start a Gofundme page or HE COULD PAY FOR IT HIMSELF!.
He said Mexico was going to pay for the wall.

Dear MISTER TRUMP, Kennedy was shot for less and Mexico has ladders and shovels. Why does nobody impeach his orange dumb ass? Im Canadian (although some of my family is American) and I feel so bad for What Americans who never voted for him are going through.
Honestly they should’ve just funded the wall but both sides are at fault it’s not fair to hold the American people hostage
El chapo net worth is 1/10th of that total loss of 11 billion
Man this is not good
Now all the whites are mad at him 2 years ago yall was yelling make america great again now what yall voted a dumb ass with the 2 brain cells same mindset of you all and expect him to make america great again which i dont see how was he gonna make it great ,all he did was make it racist again and thats the only thing you people wanted lol
Good job, Trump, McConnell, Pelosi….No leaders. ðŸ˜â€Ã°Å¸Ëœâ€™ Could have stroked his ego, labeled it "Trump is the prettiest, richest, and smartest of them all:Wall funding definitely included" Not included any of it because I doubt Trump or GOP reads any of them. Look at the novel they sent you last time. FFS, treat him like you would a 3 year old…you will never win an argument so trick him.
How did the shut down cost $11 billion? Are they counting the back pay as that loss because that is money that would have been paid anyway?
What a president! He kept 800,000 innocent Americans hostage for 35 days costing the country 11 billion dollars. We are impressed mr Trump of your achievements. You are the best president ever and never will be another one like you. You have showed us that you care about the American people. You really care, as long as you don't get desperate to the point of taking hostages costing the country billions of dollars.
Pelosi gave Trump 12 min of progressive talk over 11 billion dollars lost that better not happen again in 3 weeks.
Wall for security? Give me the complete break!
Peter Jennings, R.I.P…
The government has too large an impact on the economy, because the federal government is too large.
Seems as if he wants to see if someone will assassinate him ðŸ¤â€
The left knew exactly how much this shutdown was costing us also and for them to sign off on a military budget of over $600 billion and not approve a measly $5.7 billion for the wall was done also at the peoples expense trying to please their leftist audience in fighting against EVERYTHING he is trying to do all in the name of being re-elected!! Hey all news agencies trying to spin the 11 to 5 billion dollar loss, FUCK YOU AND TRUMPS CRITIZERS!!!
