How many US citizens have been affected by the "shutdown"? "Awaken" to the waste. After every economic slowdown, private business looks for ways to save money. They number one expense for business is labor - payroll/benefits. Donald J. Trump is a former hotelier amongst other ventures. After 9-11 and the ’08 financial debacle, many hotels eliminated several layers of redundancies of departmental responsibilities thus employees.  I, obviously, could be very wrong about this but I can easily see the now President Trump implementing the same cost savings measures, the then CEO Donald Trump utilized in his private business. ONLY this man could pull this off. A successful business man, an outsider applying basic money saving principles to the Federal Government. Attempt to comprehend the amount of money saved between this and reducing or eliminating just half of “foreign aid”. We have not witnessed just how loud entitled snowflakes can scream until this happens. Bring it Mr. President.
