No need to go back and review, It's Trump, I'm sure he lied, exaggerated and told half truths. And if I remember attacked the Democrats during the speech saying things like they don't want people to have good paying jobs, they don't care for the safety of Americans.

You know you didn't watch it. Hell the Dems didn't applaud when he talked about black employment being up and that is something nobody is disputing.

In other words, the same as all the other ones since the speeches started being broadcast on TV.

So now Pelosi is telling Trump to cancel the SOTU address. She may delay it. Citing "security concerns".

Hooray for government squabbles and pettiness

I'm kinda thinking it might be a Depends moment for Pelosi. She's got a new crop of unprincipled and undisciplined Dim bulbs in the house, and Dims were the ones who decided that Joe Wilson had to be punished for his Obama lies moment. She's probably scared witless that her new charges are way to far from being considered house broken, and Karma has a very fickle temperament.

I'm glad it doesn't affect you or me. But it's not just 400,000 people, it's 400,000 families. Not to mention the people they own money to who aren't getting paid. I agree it's not huge problem for most of us but overall it's not a good thing.

its funny that jobs matter when they are federal jobs. any other lost job because of government action doesn't get mentioned or is swept under the rug as unimportant.

Who with a basic grasp of economics would argue that halting a significant amount of government spending for several weeks would not hurt GDP?

Wait a second here. Government doesnt create wealth or goods. Government borrows or taxes money and then spends it. Isnt that, at best, a neutral sum game when discussing GDP?

What is a fake troll account? I took more offense by the GOP yelling liar during Obama's speech than the camera's focusing on the democrats not doing anything during Trump's.

Yes, the whole thing was master minded by Trump to fulfill his real mission of undoing the "deep state," also known as Belzebub, Jimmy Hoffa, The Devil, this stuff, amkoptydrogen, etc.

All indications to the contrary, Trump is a Secret Agent Genius.

Sure. That's it. Sure.

Thought the dems. should have just stayed home last year. I'm good if they didn't have the sh!tshow this year.
The country is divided and the government is shut down is the state of the Union.

You add up the spending.

Gross Domestic Product - GDP

A country's gross domestic product can be calculated using the following formula: GDP = C + G + I + NX. C is equal to all private consumption, or consumer spending, in a nation's economy, G is the sum of government spending, I is the sum of all the country's investment, including businesses capital expenditures and NX is the nation's total net exports, calculated as total exports minus total imports (NX = Exports - Imports).

For your prediction of the shutdown effecting GDP to hold true, the furloughed employees must not be paid. Correct?

Yes. But a mere delay or uncertainty regarding payments is going to slow down the flow of money which powers economic growth.
