This occurred between the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019 on trumps watch. A stretched on for 34 days, 300,000 Government Workers were furloughed and. It costs our economy 11 billion dollars. Its not Monopoly Money, folks. Its not Monopoly Money to republicans who think that we have too much debt in the country, 11 Trillion Dollars for no particular reason, seems foolhardy.
