I think I misstated two things as one
When Reagan faced a similar situation he said “Let’s shut it down, and see if anyone notices”. He went on to win a second term in a landslide.
And when the government WAS shut down in the 90’s no one noticed. I honestly don’t remember it... and I was freeping since Monica was giving Lewinsky’s to BJ
” - - - averting a government shutdown in less than three weeks ran into a wall of opposition on Wednesday from conservatives in the U.S. House of Representatives, and leaders delayed any votes on it until at least next week. - - -”
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!
If I remember it correctly, NO ONE EVEN NOTICED! and Reagan went on to win a 2nd term in a landslide.
***********************
Clinton was the POTUS then (’92-2000). GOP controlled House and Senate from ‘94 on and brought about budget cuts, etc., that the Dems still credit Clinton for doing.
ATTAGIRL!
Keep up the pressure folks!
They aren’t cowards...they support ObamaCare...when they say they don’t, they are lying.
yeah I was talking about two different events at the same time and confused the issue
Reagan’s famous quote when threatened with shutdown was “Let’s shut it down, and see if anyone notices”
And when Gingrich was speaker and they DID shut it down, no one except the media noticed. If anything the people were pissed that all federal workers got a free paid vacation.
