from a different viewpoint. A government shutdown by Democrats in the minority in every front would be like the allies bombing their own cities or blockading their own ports.

As I said in the OP, Republicans hate government and shutting down the government is like holding your own kids hostage to force somebody who hates you and your kids to do something you want but they don't.

What the fuck does he care and the Republicans feel the same way about working people, the poor and government workers. They just don't care.
