I agree with all at the twitter account.

For me, though, the message that resonates is that we are talking about a funding issue, a continuing resolution. It is the RESPONSIBILITY of the House of Representative by the Constitution.

So, if they say: We’re paying all the old bills, but we’re not adding new ones, in particular, this huge bill right here called Obamacare, then that makes sense to me.

If I wanted to buy the new corvette that’s coming out, and my wife who keeps the books said, “We can afford everything else, but We can’t afford that a new car payment like that.”, then I wouldn’t attack her saying that she was trying to shut down the family and stop paying all bills.

I would assume we can’t afford that new bill.

Two pronged IMHO:

Funding as you say.

But particularly important that it's defunding a horribly destructive, unpopular bill shoved down the public throats by a party that doesn't care.
