I’m a democrat and even if I was a republican, I would see this a mess. They are holding the security of the United States in peril. And even the republicans think this was the wrong time to fight this. They were pretty much just suppose to vote to pay the bills for now and keep the government open. This isn’t the time to fight stupid issues. They have the rest of the freaken year to do that.
It’s simple. If I went to paint someones home an we agreed on a payment amount, he cannot turn around and say he won’t pay me unless I clean his windows and his gutters. Just freaken pay me. If they want their windows and gutter cleaned then he can discuss that with me after he has paid me for the work I already did.
President Obama is simply asking them to pay what they have already charged.
Meanwhile, they aren’t getting any real work done. There are stories of them having night caps and coming back smelling of liquor and they continue to get a pay check for not doing their job.
This is when some mob guy would come in handy. Break some knee caps and make them pay up.
Someone needs to start a bill to introduce a new law and get everyone to sign up for a bill by the people, where as, they can no longer get paid when they close the government down. If they don’t do their job, then they should not get paid. They can’t turn it down if the majority of the citizens in this country vote for it. And add that if they cannot fulfill their obligations that they may removed permanently and will no longer be able to hold a political job.
Needs to go on the polls for the next election.
