$137Bn Missing. What Do Gov't People DO?

So there's this shutdown going on, but normally, there are lots of busy little beavers in the Federal Government, spending, taxing, double-checking, recording, processing, prioritizing, and doing stuff.

So remind me, Ms. Pelosi:  what the Hell do these people DO?
