If they stay shut down too long we might find out we don't need them.

Will,

As long as they enjoy looking like incompetents who cannot solve a problem. When their terms come up, I would not vote for a single one of them.  And I would make sure that their salaries are shutdown for every day the government is closed.  A

Exactly what Alexandra said. I have said this before: if we fail, we are fired (or worse).
Congress is failing like it is an Olympic sport!
They should be ashamed, and they are not. We just need to keep voting out incumbents till we get a proactive and cohesive Congress.

Don't know, don't care...they've shut down before and it was a non-event then, it's a non-event now. Can you really tell the difference, with this government?  When is it ever truly working? Run your business like a business and focus on lead generation; avoid the distractions and shiny object syndrome...get to work.

   Since most of the Congressional leaders are either super-octogenarians, or on supplemental oxygen for brain damage (Pelosi, McCain, The Mad Hatter, Lindsey Graham, Fauxcahontas, et al), probably not for long.

I think congress and the senate have been shut down going on 9 years. It is a shame. The democrats are holding the country hostage. Open the government, secure the borders, take care of the Daca kids, put term limts in place.

My thoughts are if not resolved before Monday morning before the start of business that it will be shut down a long time.  Those we sent to DC are stubborn and do not all function with the People who elected them in mind.  

They'd rather "win" at the expense of US Citizens.

That's what we need. A social movement to set up in DC and insist we lock out the free-loaders from their building until I can get my peeps into office.

Then it's Bye-bye IRS and Dept of Edu.

Due to all this bone cold weather my peeps will build a weather barrier on the border of Canada. Of course Canada will pay for it.

It has become two entities with a handful thinking what each entity should do! Until we the people learn to vote them out, it will be a lot of finger pointing and they forget that there are more pointing back at them.
