Naw, you just do not have an answer, which we understand. So lets say the government does shutdown, who will it effect. First thing to remember is that the Federal government is made of people so all of those people do not get paid when the government shuts down. Next would be any federal programs or federal employees who work in areas that assist regular people. You see its easy for some rich dude to say, yeah shut it down because he is never going to be effected that much, but actual people lives are very much a part of it.
As a negotiation ploy, its never actually beneficial for the group that is in power to be the cause of a shutdown. Its very hard to leverage the opposite party because the blame is always on who is in power and who cause the shutdown. As I remember, the last shutdown did not get Trump his funding for the wall and actually help to lose the House which then approved the bill that did not have the funding for the wall. The tactic of shutting down the government only really works if the opposite party actually fears losing seats in the house or Senate but since the GOP has majority in the house, Senate and the presidency what exactly is there for the Dems to fear.
