Shutting down the government is a really bad idea.
It seems some of us want our government check more than we want freedom!!!
Please, the Texas legislature is in session every 2 years. Seems to work fine for them. Too bad our FF's couldn't foresee the harm of career politicians and their need to create a personal legacy every damn year by putting more liberty killing laws on the books. Sure term limits and reduced congressional sessions would have been the 11th Amendment if our Founders had a crystal ball.
Shut the broken machine down! BTW, notice the "sequester" hasn't done anything but reduce Fedgov employee paychecks? Good. There are too damn many of them and have increased exponentially under Obambi. Let half of them get a real job or starve. Just get out of my friggin life!
And no, I don't care if the Republicans get the blame - they always do for anything that doesn't go according to the socialist/communist plan. WOMEN, CHILDREN, and MINORITIES SUFFER! will always be the headline. The RINOS don't even bother to refute. I'm now an Independent.
