The libertarian case for the shutdown, explained

America’s longest-lasting government shutdown is a loser in the polls among most Americans, but among a swath of prominent conservatives and libertarians, it’s no big deal. In fact, it might even be a good thing.

“Looking around America, everything seems pretty normal. Life goes on,” said John Stossel, a popular libertarian commentator in a video for Reason Magazine. On January 15, he said, “Kids still play and learn, adults still work, stock prices have actually increased during the shutdown. It’s hardly the end of the world.”

 

Candice Owens - "It’s Week 3 of our government shutdown and literally not a single element of our day to day lives has been affected.

Really makes you wonder what the hell exactly our government does when it’s open."
