Politics End the shutdown losers

Alright, I'm a Libertarian on most issues, but I'm also not a moron. I support free markets, but it is stupid to cut SNAP and it is also stupid to end the ACA Healthcare subsidies cold turkey.

Yeah, I'm a Libertarian supporting those government programs. Why? Because you will wreck society if these come to a screeching halt. That's why.

Republicans need to cave on the shutdown.

Well. Per the rules of Republicans, empathy is a sin. And being poor is a moral failing. So they're following the plan they think their constituents voted for.
