Well…I’m not sure if any of you doubted that the crazy-assed repubs would shut down the government in their little tantrum since their extortion didn’t work….and I am really surprised that the dems have held together and said “enough” to the bullying from the right. But, one thing that the supposedly fiscally responsible repubs won’t say is that this little stunt of theirs is costing the American people…that is, you and me, over 300 million dollars a day out of our tax money. The repubs think it’s quite okay to spend money on this little tantrum of theirs while doing their best to take food out of the mouths of the poor and over 180,000 veterans whose food stamps will be cut off if they get their way. It can’t be allowed that only 20% of the country, the tea party idiots, to dictate what happens to the rest of us who are reasonable people who know that government needs to work to make the country better. If we just hold together, we can take back the house and then make the changes to the ACA that may be necessary…as it has always worked throughout the history of this country…we just can’t let the anarchists win….geez….
