It costs $1.3 TRILLION to keep the federal government running for one year. In FY16, the federal government collected $3.267 trillion in taxes. That includes income taxes, corporate taxes, Social Security, and unemployment. Unfortunately, it spent $3.852 trillion, a deficit of $584 billion. Since FY09, the federal government spent $7.2 trillion more than it has taken in. The annual federal government waste and solutions report details the arguably ridiculous things the government spent money on. $473 billion wasted in one year.

Question: What do sanctions on Russia have to do with the cost of the government shut down?

They have no bearing on the shutdown of the government. Only in Keyvns small world of fantasy. If the federal government would eliminate the waste in many if not all agencies we would have more money to do the things the government needs to help Americans that are living on the streets and pay for a border fence along the southern border and have money to spare.

As usual, no citations.
A good question about the connection.
Here is another: Why aid the economy (and personal wealth) of a known enemy?

If you call recovering almost 1 Trillion dollars per year in trade imbalance and bringing jobs back to honest, hard working Americas to be aiding and abetting foreign enemies, please go back to school
and study Economics 101.

Back to work, yes, but...(read on Coony, if you can)

But the details of the (Trump)report raised questions about whether middle-class households — which have experienced an economic “lost decade” — are now likely to see actual income gains or if they will simply tread water. One reason for concern is that income growth slowed in 2017, to 1.8 percent. Median income had grown more rapidly in previous years, by 5.2 percent in 2015 and 3.2 percent in 2016.

Because Putin wants him to.

Why lift sanctions on this one oligarch and the Russian corporations he owns?
