Yang’s single largest dollar expenditure, 62% of his US$4.9 trillion budget, would only impact 2% to 5% of US energy consumption. And his investments on geoengineering, fusion, and thorium nuclear generation are purely wasted expenditures

Remember that there was a strong #NeverTrump campaign within the Republican Party during the primaries, and even running into the general election. Former Republican presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush reportedly did not even vote for Trump in the general election. I'm sure some other prominent Republicans didn't either.

But many of the news agencies covering this possible shutdown are painting the picture much too evenly. (i.e. "Is it the Democrats? Is it the Republicans? Who's causing this potential disaster?...")
