    “The government is shutdown” — what does it mean? A mom standing guard on the border won’t get her paycheck. A family ready to open the door to their first home will find it locked. & a small business owner will lose his first big government contract. This is real.

    You’re a child. This isn’t hot potato. This is people’s lives. Their small business loan. Their first home loan. Their paycheck and dignity at Christmas. You were given options to secure the border and avoid a shutdown. You chose chaos. Grow up and lead.
