Why does Congress get paid and everyone else get hurt? It's Congress job to set budgets and fund government, they fail and everone else doesn't get a check or benefits. We need an Balanced Budget Amendment that removes---FOREVER--all Congressional pensions, health care, and salaries with a government shutdown or deficit budget.

The shutdown must not be that important to the Dems.

“I hadn’t noticed”

-

You would if you weren’t getting paid the ATC and military.

My activity within the DoD had pot of money in reserve that would last almost a year to offset a shutdown......why that doesn’t exist for those two is beyond me.

Outrageous for them to not be paid while vacationing Senators are.

Schumber’s Shutdown isn’t looking good for the RATS. Schumer thinks free healthcare for illegal aliens is a perfect reason to stop Americans from receiving their paychecks. I guess Schumer has talked Americans into putting foreign criminals first the way their Party of Death is doing. Which is more important to the RATS? Illegal Alien criminals getting free healthcare or millions of Americans getting paid. Think about it. ROTFL! The New Yawk Trump hating shyster Court TV primate is blasting Trump for using the DOJ to throw her butt in jail for being a New Yawk crook for her felonies committed. I’ve never heard President Trump crying because her Party of Death keeps sending mentally retarded assassins out to kill him. Personally, I’d much rather have the DOJ after my ass than a bunch of retarded DemonRAT assassins with high powered rifles.

failed to get the 60 votes necessary to overcome a filibuster

I wasn't aware that an actual filibuster was occuring. Screw a threat of a filibuster, make them actually stand up there and read Dr. seuss or something.

Likewise, the Republicans should call for another vote right after the first one, and keep it up everyday for 16+ hours a day. Really make a spectacle of it.

And leaving for Columbus day.....Republicans should stay in DC through the holiday. It would make a great campaign ad for the midterms...you really can’t make democrats look bad enough.

No one has missed a paycheck yet. Payday isn’t until October 14.

Some just sat at home for the past week and a half.

The less they are in DC, the better for all of us.

The democrats can adjourn for a holiday. The majority only can.

The Dems are happy to go on a long holiday because they really think the shutdown works in their favor. Whether in fact it does, depends on how well the GOP messages the truth.

Congress job to set budgets and fund government

Per the democrat party they want to fund illegals for free healthcare to housing and everything in between.

They need all the bribes they can get for votes.

What holiday? They just had one.

Why do they need 60 votes? Is this the usual cloture requirement? Or is there a separate budget rule? And most importantly, if it us just cloture then why aren’t the Republicans making the Democrats filibuster this? No holidays! No weekends! Not even nights off. If paying for illegals’ medical care is that important, then they should be glad to tell the world until they start dropping like the dog in Vacation (poor little Bernie probably kept up for a mile or so).
