Only in America!
The reason the US government is shut down is because nobody would vote 'yes' to raise the debt ceiling so that the Fed could borrow $5Trillion more dollars to make the required monthly payments for the interest-owing on the US Nation Debt, which is now almost $40T.
By shutting down the government, they save money which amounts to the same thing as borrowing more money to pay the Federal employees PLUS pay the monthly interest-owing on the National Debt. Shutting down the government is therefore a great way to keep expenses low and manageable!
Trump actually thought that tariffs would solve the National Debt crisis but all tariffs have done is put Americans in the poor house.
