I am kinda looking forward to a “government shutdown.”

They should implement a true government shutdown then.

No one or no group is "exempted."

Watch as Social Security checks/ATM Direct deposits are not sent out, and Medicare payments to medical providers suddenly cease.

Then you will see so-called "Libertarians" and "Conservatives" play the hypocrite.

Reid:
“People who don’t believe in government — and that’s what the Tea Party is all about — are winning, and that’s a shame.”

This is all you need to know about Harry.

Why would anybody “believe in government”?
Well....except for the people who live off of the handouts, rather than make any attempt to take care of themselves.

I'm ok with no SS checks going out. It's an unconstitutional program.

Reid declared that the lower chamber had been taken over by anarchists

Sure. Next thing you know, Boner and Cantor will be hurling bombs around the place.

I dunno, Harry, somehow, that seems unlikely to me.

It is also a Ponzi scheme. fine that you say that, but there are a boatload of people (even at this site) who shout: “We are out of money!” And. “Shut er down!” If you debate some of the same people about “their” check or “benefits”’ well..........that's different. It is “their money.” Take that same story, multiply by millions of Americans, wash, rinse, repeat. The DC crowd, however, is in fear of entitlement receivers. They will “exempt” SS, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. Mark my words.

I did not realize the Government was up and running!
Since we lack anyone with leadership ability I thought it was just sliding along under its own weight!

“I said to him, ‘What can I do to help?’,”

How about, "Drop dead, Harry...."

Harry, All you have to do is to pass the House bill funding the whole government with the exception of ObamaCare, a program that is failing on every front and demanding to be de-funded.

See how easy that is!

Boehner has one simple question to answer:

Did he have more fun on election night 2010 when, with huge Conservative and TEA Party support, the Republicans roared to victory or did he have more fun on election nights 2006, 2008 and 2012 when Republicans meowed and got their asses handed to them?

Which will Boehner try and duplicate, the Roar or the meow?
