I have a better idea:
Whatever your political persuasion, write your senators and representatives. The only thing that will help all the folks who are in a bad spot because of the shutdown is to get the government back open again. Our leadership should be pressured.

I look at it like this: I'll give my advice and suggestion to any shopper who asks - they don't need to be a federal employee. I figure that most folks who get into this are in need of extra income for whatever reason and I know that some are hurting.
I do agree with @walesmaven's post suggesting that we donate to the many charities that are helping them out. At the same time, we cannot expect them to want to live off charitable donations for a prolonged period. What they really need is to get the government back open. I do not see this as "political" to suggest that we write our elected officials other than underscoring that we all have the right and responsibility to communicate with our leadership, whatever our politics. I have no intentions of trying to argue the politics of the situation in this thread.

Well, again, a friend posted this, and false and true are very black and white, while the discussion on the wall is a matter of opinions. I think false is the wrong word, I think your opinion is that it is not a matter of National Security. Also, there are 77 other countries in the world that have these exact walls for that exact reason...so again, it's an opinion, not a fact. And I am not saying I am right either, I am just saying there is room for discussion.

Cut top 1/2 inch off of entire garlic bulb. Place on tinfoil square. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle salt. Wrap foil around bulb, seal shut. Put in oven when baking something at ~350° for ~45 minutes. Squeeze cloves out of bulb. Spread on toast, put in soup.....lasts in fridge for a few weeks.
