On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said that the government funding bill that passed the House wasn’t an improvement on the original bill, but his goal was ensuring there wasn’t a shutdown.

I Wanted to go home for Christmas.
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA). I wouldn’t have minded a bit if the government shutdown, as long as I got my Social Security, which is set to increase a whopping 2.5% in January Eric. Thanks for all your hard work for a retired working man like me.
