    NEW: White House officials are scrambling to deal with major fallout from the shutdown that begins next month, when $140 billion+ in tax refunds could freeze and 38 million Americans face see major food stamp cuts.https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/millions-face-delayed-tax-refunds-cuts-to-food-aid-as-white-house-scrambles-to-deal-with-shutdown/2019/01/04/b5b58616-0fa3-11e9-8938-5898adc28fa2_story.html?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.727fe98a849e …

        No. No one depends on their tax refund. Or food

        And there is so much more. Federal funding ripples thru the economy in schools, hospitals, research, roads, etc. There will be a lag, and then it will hit.

        It's going to be a disaster, especially for the magical "base."

        I don't know - a member of the magical base today tweeted at me that federal workers are all Dems, so I guess they're all good

        That same person called me a freeloader, even though I live and work in a state that funds the middle of the country and my taxes just went up with this latest "tax cut"

        There's nothing in the story to indicate White House officials are "scrambling to deal with the consequences" of the shutdown. Trump hired amateurs so they're trying to "understand the scope of the consequences" of Trump's threatened long shutdown.

        it's time for Congress to get together the votes to override a veto. No other way.
