The Left Making Up a Long List of Scare Tactics and Drama Over Shutdown

Compiled from various media reports, the Democrats and their media allies are publishing horror story after horror story regarding the shutdown. Most are exaggerated. Some are untrue.

Here is a sample:

– Historic day in shutdown history.

– Now on Craigslist, Facebook: Household items from furloughed workers trying to make ends meet

– Doomsday scenarios they include, experts who say the devastating impact would be widespread:

• 38 million low-income Americans lose food stamps

(extended thru Feb)

• 6 million face an uncertain timetable for collecting tax refunds

(IRS says refund will be uninterrupted)

• 2 million without rental assistance and facing possible eviction

(Government has said these type doomsday situations are being held.)

• 800,000 paycheck-less federal employees plunged into dire financial straits

(gross prognostication)

• Shuttered parks and museums while over stressed airports cause tourism to tank

(only about a third of our national park sites are completely closed)

• Federal court system slows to a crawl

(the Supreme Court and lower federal courts have remained open by drawing on non-appropriated funds and court fees.)

• Disaster relief money doesn’t get to storm-ravaged areas

(no evidence of this)

• Lapsed FDA and EPA inspections lead to dangerous outbreaks

(gross prognostication)

• Private companies looking to go public are stuck in limbo

(gross prognostication)

• Stock market plummets

(gross prognostication, stock market up since shutdown began)

And as always, if this keeps up, hair will grow on the palms of your hands.

– Dems and media are preparing for national protests following the end of the shutdown and the successful establishment by Trump of funding the wall

– call-in, sick-out at airports to create chaos. (delays are within normal ranges say airports and TSA)

– American’s suffer shutdown consequences

– … people are going to die …
