Oh, I have even more of a problem with it when a "republican" does this crap than when a democrat does. And I despise a "continuing resolution", it's an act of cowardice by a group of "representatives" who refuse to accept responsibility and accountability for their actions and their refusal to act.


The government should absolutely be shut down, and remain shut down, until the group of cowards and thieves writes and passes a budget, and is held accountable for their actions. The nation needs a budget, and a plan to pay off its debt. The Constitution demands it. The survival of the Republic requires it. So, yeah, write a budget, or shut it down. If an actual up/down vote can't be held on spending a dime, then it should never be spent.

As long as it doesn’t affect you, tell it to 1.4 million men and women in uniform defending your right to have an opinion.
