If there is to be a shutdown then it must be one that members of Congress do not get paid either. Which would mean there is not going to be a shutdown - this time.

Maybe a permanent government shut down is in order?

Right, because government shutdowns always work out so well for Republicans.

Dumb idea - the Democrats are praying Republicans are stupid enough to try this.

A growing chorus of conservatives is demanding that Senate Republicans shut down the government if resident Joe Biden refuses to scrap the federal coronavirus vaccine mandate.

Scrap the BBB boondoggle as well.

What happened to the promise the Turtle made some time back to not help the rats pass a debt limit raise in Dec? Did he cave again? Color me surprised :)

This is nonsense. If this passes for strategy, it is Deep State strategy.

First, gene therapy mandates are getting crushed in the courts. The expectation is the Commie’s will lose completely. Bargaining away something valuable in return for something we will likely get anyway would be classic Turtle.

Second, forget political tactics. The Federal Government is completely out of control, inflation is beginning to ramp up quickly. Not raising the debt ceiling is the policy objective. Just say no. About 70-80% of the government continues to operated and their is plenty of money to pay interest on the debt - no default. Make the commie’s come back with a budget that is in balance or keep it “shut down” until 2023.

So, they need to find 10 pusillanimous scoundrels in the GOP. Piece of cake.
