We shouldn’t be talking about how to avoid a fake government shutdown. We should be talking about how to *achieve a real one.* We see the same theatrics every few months because the GOP refuses to do what I’ve pledged to accomplish: shut down the administrative state for good.... The short-term fake shutdown debate is a joke: Everyone gets backpay. Everything goes back to normal, with a little more funding and a slightly bigger government. The bureaucracy wins every time. The right answer is to *actually* shut it down. 🇺🇸 Neil Cavutoshow more

.@VivekGRamaswamy Vivek, your proposal to "shut down the administrative state" relies on false assumptions and threatens severe consequences. Let's be clear: You know your proposals are ignorant nonsense that would devastate millions of lives. First, you lack the unilateral power to dismantle the bureaucracy. Agencies can't be dissolved with a snap of your fingers. Suggesting otherwise is patently absurd. Second, shutting down government is no laughing matter. It would cripple national security, public health, jobs and more. The impacts would be nothing short of catastrophic. Finally, arbitrarily firing 75% of the federal workforce displays total ignorance of how government functions. Slashing that many jobs would paralyze vital services Americans rely on. In short, your proposals are dangerously naive fiction with no grounding in reality. While thoughtful reforms have merit, spouting catchy shutdown rhetoric betrays a deep misunderstanding of practical governance. You take the recklessness of such proposals and their ruinous consequences for millions of lives as if it's a simple policy change. Our discourse deserves serious solutions, not laughable absolutism.

A lot of people don’t mind a government shutdown because it seems there’s a lot of redundancies in power that are not needed or misuse their power

Both sides can never agree on anything But I am glad the 6 billion isn’t included in this deal to fund Ukraine This isn’t a way to waste taxpayers money

🔥 Vivek 2024 🔥

Let’s shut it down. Cut 90% of all federal workers. Give the FED the unemployment numbers they want and move these people to productive jobs in the private sector. This ponzi scheme can’t go on much longer.

Vivek you are a legend 💯

Vivek wants to abolish democracy

Vivek sounds like he has a bit of a cold. If so props for being as fiercely articulate as ever 👊🙏
