The only sure way to end the shutdown, is this,,,

Air Traffic controllers walk off their jobs or call in sick at O'Hare...Atlanta...NYC... LAX..Denver..Seattle...Dallas...

The tables need to be flipped to end the shutdown..


No pay no work..


And congress needs to eliminate the whole shutdown thing too. Make it mandatory to KEEP the level of funding on auto-pilot for ALL agencies...and only vote when there's an increase above an agreed upon routine increase..

Hostage-taking and budgeting is never a good idea..

Dulles, National, Baltimore. Make it impossible for them to get out of town.

Might be a select group of Republicans visit the Turtle in the middle of the night for a little convincing discussion.

Even if it's not an organized strike, if they just walk off or stage a sick-in, Trump can order the back to work and if they refuse, they could wind up with no jobs to go back to.
