That is why the Republicans must parse the heck out of the budget bills. Imagine how Obama would panic if hundreds of thousands of bureaucratic voices “cried out for money and were suddenly silenced.” Bureaucrats are more than happy to save their own skins by sacrificing their peers.
And “shutting down the government” doesn’t work if it is just a single agency at a time.
We must be looking at different 'news medias'.
These are the guys that made Michael Brown, a strongarm robber who tried to kill a cop, into a martyr that will spark nationwide race riots.
They will lie, cheerfully, smiling evilly at us the entire time.
