My gosh what is it with you? Who said going to the poor house makes sense? You just make stuff up out of your head?
The shutdown didn't hurt us except politically - it wasn't even a "shutdown" ... it was a 17% "slowdown" and we saved a ton of money until fed workers got backpay for their 16 day vacation.
It did not help politically in spite of the fact that it was 100% Harry Reid and 0bama who are responsible for it. That is why the CR process has effectively removed from the House the power of the purse. This deal takes the power away from the Senate at least.
You are uninformed.
Like they used to say at Burger King . . . . doing anything for political expediency is why we are here in the first place.
