(CNN)Sen. Dianne Feinstein warned Wednesday that when the federal government shuts down "people die, accidents happen" and it's hard to assess what the impact will be when "necessary functions cease." The California Democrat made the stark comments in a Capitol Hill hallway interview as she left a caucus lunch where the standoff with Republicans over a government funding bill -- known as a continuing resolution or CR -- was discussed. She was asked whether she thought her party would vote to pass or block a GOP bill to keep the government open ahead of a Friday deadline. "Shutting down the government is a very serious thing. People die, accidents happen. You don't know. Necessary functions can cease," she said. "There is no specific list you can look at and make a judgment: 'Well everything is going to be just fine.' You can't make that judgment. So, I think it's a last resort. And I'm really hopeful we don't get to it."
Feinstein said she had not made her mind up about whether to vote for the measure.

ZZZ.....snore.............
I’d keep the janitors in the House and Senate lot of crap to clean up in those places.
She hasn't decided if people are going to die?
She could ‘crossover’ and vote yes?! She could be a contender.
...Feinstein warns people will die if the government shuts down..
What? Are the Democrats going to go out and kill them?
Pretty sure people will die if it doesn’t shut down, too. People are like that.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein is admitting to manslaughter? Doesn’t that go to second degree murder if it’s planed?
After all the times they spewed this crpp before.......
achoo! DiFi has a cold and is not responsible for anything she says.
Well, Di-Fi.. tell that to your collaborators in the Senate.
I caught Trump in a Lie today.
He claimed that the COUNTRY would be shut down. Liar ;-)
Then don’t shut it down, Democrats
I read that fed employees cost us $1,000,000/minute.
Some ranchers would be alive if the government gestapo didn't gun them down. Maybe more people will live if government shuts down.
