    95% (!!!) of HUD is furloughed for shutdown.

        "NBC News attempted to contact HUD for comment, but no one picked up the press line. An email to a spokesman produced an auto-reply that he was furloughed. An email sent to the general HUD public affairs account also went unanswered."

        They are getting smarter about not shutting down the parts they like. Kind of like the way they run the departments when govt. isn’t shut down. Just hurt the powerless, and blame the folks that actually care about the powerless.

        Trump and the greedheads couldn’t care less about that. But the SEC shutdown is starting to put a crimp in IPO approvals. THAT they care about.

        Yep. The majority of people in public housing vote for dems. You would think Nancy cares, but her bill sends 12 BILLION to foreigners and nothing for Americans. Sad.

        Bipartisan CR passed the house and Mitch had the votes in the Senate and Trump had agreed to sign the extension then reneged (all before Pelosi retook Speaker). Bipartisan CR passed in April ‘18 game Trump $1.6B for border security. He’s spent 6%. This is Trump’s shutdown.

        Wait until multifamily residential real estate owners trying to finance with a HUD product find they can't close their loans while their current loans are coming due and falling into default.
