@realDonaldTrump it is not “government” that you have sabotaged and shut down, it is the family trying to get a mortgage, cant get FHA approval, will be homeless and stranded. Will you pay for their $200-300 a day hotel bill?
It is people who squeek by running small businesses that have government contracts and cannot pay their bills or employees because they are not being paid. People who might lose their businesses because of your grandstand act.
It is basic services to native Americans, and to tribes, who are among the least affluent peoples of our nation.
It is women who need programs that rely on funding by the Violence Against Women Act. Survivors of sexual assault and violence. The VAWA expired when the government shut down.
It is small business owners who cant get loans because the Small Business Administration is closed.
It is millions of middle school children whose highlight-of-life class trip to Washington DC, the Smithsonians and Air and Space museum, planned meticulously for a year in advance, whose trips are cancelled.
It is people who receive section 8 housing vouchers who are now vulnerable to eviction, legally, because they cannot pay their rent.
It is peoples hopes and dreams and very survival. It is not “government” that you are “inconveniencing.” It is millions of peoples survival. How dare you threaten these people for months or years. How dare you @realDonaldTrump. You are out of touch with Americans.
That you dare assert that these people “would be with you” or that they would see it as being about a higher calling than their paychecks is criminal. But you are very familiar with criminsl acts, so why am I appalled?
