For the halibut, consider that Lord Trump wants a shutdown, so he can permanently close some departments. I did a quick rundown of the departments, ranked by budget, and found some $1.8T that could be "saved" by closing departments that Lord Trump either doesn't like, or doesn't make a profit off of.

My tentative list: VA (only helps "suckers and losers"), HUD, DOT, Dept of Ed (nothing but woke indoctrination), Dept of Energy, FDIC (only covers small balances, like those of Proles) PGBC (only benefits Proles), Dept of Labor (benefits Proles, hurts "JCs"), EPA (hurts "JCs"), USAID (only helps foreigners), SBA (doesn't help the "JCs" who matter). National Science Foundation (don't need no steenkeen "science"), SEC (burdens "JCs), CFPB (burdens "JCs")

Spankee isn't smart enough to remember some of them actually CAN hit a target from a significant distance. Especially a big, fat, slow moving target. Take away their benefits and they may decide to settle the issue once and for all.
