The effects of the shutdown will extend beyond long lines at food banks. [View all]

Without a paycheck, people won't be able to pay their bills, buy gas for their cars to get to work,. The consequences will expand to the whole economy, and of course the terrible human consequences will keep growing.

Unfortunately, it isn't just MAGAs who end up suffering for electing Trump and all his Republican enablers.

gas
rent
food
heat
phone
school
housing
mortgage
university
utility bills
necessities
prescriptions
transportation
children's lunches
medical emergency
