The Government Shutdown and its Effects

So hey guys welcome back to my post, this week we are talking about our 9 year old president... wait did I say 9 I meant 3. A man who knows no compromise which as the leader of our country should be one of his best traits. Anyway... The government shutdown, as I'm sure you've heard its because the democrats didn't want to fund his wall, and then they apparently weren't giving him enough money to fund it. I think this is extremely immature, he basically said " If I don't get my money nobody does" and now federal employees are filing for unemployment and are going homeless because they haven't been getting paid. Grandparents who get retirement money, food stamps, and even housing for people, everybody is going down, they arrest getting much needed money to survive and are ending up on the streets. Its been a month and the consequences are already catching up. If this continues for much longer we might find ourselves in a global depression. With America being such a strong economical supplier to other countries if we go down everybody does. I would start buying gold if I were you. The relates to the gilded age because of the panic of 1893 though it wasn't a government shutdown it was a major event that led to a deep depression which there is a high chance of at the rate we are going.  In my opinion we don't need the wall and the should just end already.
