U.S. Chamber of Commerce calls for end to shutdown
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the nation’s biggest lobbying group, urged lawmakers and the administration Tuesday to end the partial government shutdown, saying it was harming the American people, the business community and the economy.
“The Chamber strongly urges Congress and the administration to resolve this impasse and reopen the government,” wrote Neil Bradley, the group’s executive vice president and chief policy officer, in a letter to lawmakers and the White House. “As we are hearing every day from businesses across the country, the adverse consequences of the shutdown are wide and growing.”
Bradley noted that small businesses were unable to receive assistance from the Small Business Administration, while companies are “delayed in their ability to raise additional capital or complete the process of going public” because of the partial shutdown.
He added that travelers are facing delays and the processing of imports “is hindered, and tariff exclusion requests are unprocessed. Safety inspectors are sidelined, mortgage approvals are delayed, and research is halted.”

A "response" that shows they have concerns - but fails to address the "individual" responsible for it. 
pile of crap.
