   It seems inevitable that the US government will run out of money on October   
   1st.   
      
   This fact is especially important because the entire US military leadership   
   will be in Virginia tomorrow, and the military will also face reduced funding   
   if there's a government shutdown.   
      
   There will then be no more money to transport senior military personnel around   
   the world.   
      
   The generals will then have to pay for their own transportation.   
      
   This crisis is Trump's own creation and apparently desired. No attempts have   
   been made to reach an agreement with the Democrats.   
      
   Last time, a few Democrats helped to avert a crisis. Now, the Republicans   
   simply assume they will do so again, and therefore, the Democrats are   
   irrelevant.   
      
   I wonder if Trump will be right about that.   
      
   Trump himself says he wants to use a shutdown to permanently fire many civil   
   servants. He failed under Elon Musk's foolish actions; now he's trying to do   
   it through a crisis of his own making.   
      
   The crisis means that civil servants will no longer receive pay starting   
   October 1st. National parks, museums, etc., will then close.   
      
   Meanwhile, Trump is playing golf. He seems completely unconcerned about the   
   crisis he's allowing to develop here.
