Like his government shutdown was such a success — he ended up losing his speakership.

All I know is this congress has failed to pass a budget for four straight years. I say if they don't pass a budget, they can't spend money. Period. No more continuing resolutions, which only guarantee that automatic spending increases happen every year with nobody being accountable for it. No more. If we need to shut the government down to make the Senate do its job, then so be it.

And when the press crucifies them, they can at least hold their heads up and say "The Democrat controlled Senate won't pass a budget, blame them."

RE: this congress has failed to pass a budget for four straight years

Let’s be more specific. The LOWER HOUSE of Congress has passed a budget. It is the Democrat controlled Senate that held it up and REFUSED to pass a budget of its own.
