How much would be saved if it were shut down?

One-half of one percent is a ridiculous "cut." It's like taking a scoop of dressing off the table at a Thanksgiving feast. It's a joke even to negotiate seriously over such a minuscule amount. It makes a mockery of conservative demands.

I have no hope Republicans are going to grow a pair on this. Been disappointed too many times. Might as well have Trent Lott in there "negotiating."

Carl Cameron on FOX is saying that the GOP Caucus is discussing a Democrat offer at $40 Billion in cuts with policy questions ‘resolved’ 'caved in upon'.

There, fixed it.

We will still have the State, County and City governments to steaf from us and impose tyranny. No one will notice uncle Marx has been shut down.

I don’t think they understand how many people don’t give a crap if they shut down the NON ESSENTIAL government!

My bad:
“Panties” should have been “patsies”...
But then the so-called men in charge of the GOP are running around “Wearing Women’s Underwear” ....

Speaking of Fox News, am I the only one who’s sick and tired of them jerking our chains with their overused “breaking news” and “Fox News Alert” crapola?

Politically we need to resolve this fast.

There are issues now with Libya and Egypt that needs to be brought to the public. Not good news for Obama.

Word of a deal to prevent #shutdown. First step, quick House and Senate passage before midnight of a 3-day spending bill (a "CR").
