Let's hold the nation hostage to get our agenda. Gee, same old Washington, D.C. I hope that means Congress does not get paid as well or their healthcare. Matter of fact, just turn off the electricity to Congress and lock the doors. Maybe we can figure out a way to function without all of those politicians and we can send them all home. Someone needs to pass a bill that if our Congress allows the government to shut down that by default all Congressional leaders immediately lose their seats and new elections must be held. Allowing a government shutdown is proof of joint incompetence and selfishness, if they can not figure out how to make decisions for this country send them all home. Disgusts me, this type of politics is unacceptable. Go ahead, shut it down, we do not need them anyway, they make our lives worse, not better.
