Interesting. The trend continues even today. When a Democrat POTUS shut down the gov't it was about wanting to spend more.

There have been far more than 17 government shutdowns. The government shuts down nonessential services every weekend.

Ever hear the term "federal holiday?" That means "government shutdown."

It that in any edition of Webster's?

Then it is only your definition; it is not mine.

Remember that for every lawyer arguing one thing, there is another arguing the exact opposite.
