Question to DUers concerning shutdown...

[busterbrown]

If the govt. shuts down next tuesday how will it all end?.
I fear that most of the extreme rectums in the House don’t even care about their own family’s welfare.
I swear I think they favor a scorched earth result, rather than to give into our Kenyan, Muslim Pres..

Most of us do not favor a presidential compromise at all... I agree..but scary shit..

1. The GOP attacks on Cruz this week are a clear sign that they will compromise or

at least kick the can down the road again.

If it did shutdown, the GOP will take the full brunt of the outrage from the public.

2. If Obama caves to these punks he sends a

message that the tea party matters. I say let the government shut down and people will put an end to the tea party.

5. "We do not negotiate with terrorists, except these ones"

That woul dbe the message if Obama caved to them, and it fact it kind of has been the message previously, which is why the Republicans continue to do it.

I agree that we have to let them pull their little trigger, and get kicked in the face before the Repubs will stop doing this shit.

8. It's all theater

The 1% pulls the strings, of congress, and the president. They are all on the same side when it comes down to it. Not our side.

4. Lemme tell you about the shutdown and continuing resolutions the Pukes force down

the throats of the Feds.
1) Because the threat of a shutdown TIME is taken away from REAL work in order to create lists of essential and non-essential employees.
2) TIME is taken away from real work in order to devise processes to be in place for computer systems acessible by the public, which will be DOWN during a shutdown
3) $$$$ is taken away EVERY time Congress passes a continuing resolution, which allows the agancies to continue WORK, but at levels of LAST YEARS budget. Last years budget numbers only, while everything else and its brother goes UP. Sort of like grocery store prices VS your paychecks. Agencies have to decide WHAT programs they can fund using last years numbers WHILE making good on what they told Congress they were going to do for the present year.
4) Oh and people retire, leaving their workloads on the plates of those who cannot, leaviings a longer line of tasks that NEED to be accomplished on last years budget numbers while COngress critters, read childrens books in the Senate, say alot without saying anything at all. AND FOR WHAT. A little political mayhem.
5) BOTTOM LINE - CONGRESS DOESN'T CARE

Nero did the same thing with his violin I hear,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

6. Right and if they are on a suicide mission like many suggest.

Then before they get “booted from office” they can inflict a huge amount of damage.. Am I correct?
