      @@texasgun2731 except that drugs are really only valuable because of arbitrary drug laws. Without drug laws and the war on drugs, America would not have as bad of a drug crisis. Democrats? Republicans? Both are camps of politically illiterate opportunists who are more worried about petty tribalism and corporate interests than anything else. LBGT rights are an issue, one that neither side has any clue how to deal with. Liberalism is cancerous, so is conservatism. Though conservatism is just liberalism with traditionalist characteristics if you don't dichotomize politics along the lines of Democrats and Republicans. American politics is just a battle of who can legitimize a non-issue by making pointless moralizations the loudest.

    How is an employer, whether the government or a private company, allowed to not pay its employees, particularly those that are being made to work regardless of not getting paid, eg air traffic controllers, border security etc. Also if there is some good reason why the government is permitted to not pay its employees for a protracted amount of time (and I haven't yet heard of one) why aren't there measures in place to prevent those workers from suffering financial hardship while they go unpaid. Don't they have financial commitments eg mortgages, rent and the like that have to be paid? Are there arrangements that say these government employees don't have to worry about paying rent or buying food while they are not getting paid? It doesn't seem sensible to me.

It might help make people step back n think it over. A plain wall would just encourage those who see it as a one-time challenge to a better life. However if the government doesn’t have the money then fixing the economy should come first.
