I’m all about getting it back open again. I think shutdowns are— nobody wins, and I think honestly, for the most part, they’re stupid.
I think the quickest way to end it is to just open everything up, and then everybody gets paid, and you’re not picking winners and losers or having to explain to this group why you open it up for this group.
I hope it doesn’t last through Thanksgiving, because that’s going to be a lot of harm to the American people and obviously a lot of harm to federal workers.
