Lazy House teabaggers and Boehner leave with unfinished business.

[Tennessee Gal]

Teabaggers, exhausted from the ordeal of keeping money safe for Bazillionaires, went home until after Labor Day. Guess they were too tired to deal with the FAA Shutdown, which has about 4,000 Federal Employees out of work without pay plus more than 100 companies working on airport renovations and construction have no work to offer employees and the companies might have to close down if they can't get work someplace else.

There is also have a fortune in taxes that are not being collected, generously gifting airlines, who raised their prices to be able to collect the money that would have gone to taxes. It's running about $30 mil a DAY! That's $210 mil a WEEK!.

And all of this will continue until after Labor Day.

1. I wonder what the people who are not collecting paychecks now because of this

are thinking and saying.

The silence is deafening.

2. This was done deliberately

The issue isn't air safety, that's why air traffic controllers are still on the job, and inspectors are working for free. No, this is about a National Labor Relations Board ruling against Delta Airlines for screwing over its employees. The Republicans are willing to forego tax revenue, piss off a segment of voters, and waste a lot of time and money while construction projects halt for a month, all to satisfy their corporate overlords.

What are Democrats willing to do in service to their constituents? At this point, doing nothing would be an improvement.
