In a 3 *trillion* dollar budget (albeit as much as two-thirds is dedicated and unable to be subject to the whims of negotiation)
it seems to me that the difference between a 1.6 billion dollars and 5 billion dollars is ridiculously trivial.
I realize 3.4 billion is a lot of money - but when you're talking trillions - it's chump change.
Why do they want to SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT over what amounts to a few bucks?
