So be it.
A handful of House Reps were willing to settle their differences, or pander to their more moderate constituencies, and offer up a bill to fund the government for the next few days.
With what, pray tell? Is the Government is neck-deep in red ink, what business does any politician in Washington have advancing even piece-meal appropriations?
Conservative Republicans are demanding more spending cuts, with confirmed liberals demanding that tax-payer money keep rolling in, grist for the creaky mill of government dysfunction.
Both sides of the aisle are fed up with government as usual.
Then let the ship of state shut down. Every American from coast to coast deserves to witness that We the People can run our affairs when the Government runs little, and does the least!
