Democrats Shutdown the US Government

The US House passed a continuing resolution before the midnight deadline. But the Senate did not take it up. Therefore by failing to pass their own resolution, THE SENATE DEMOCRATS SHUTDOWN THE US GOVERNMENT.

No one will shut it down. They will just keep passing CRs to keep it running.
The GOP has no plans on getting rid of Obamacare, passing Keystone, dealing with Immigration, Unconstitutional Executive Orders, etc.

The National Socialists shut down the U.S. government. They also bankrupted the republic.

ebt SNAP is administered by the states - the US Government just releases more money to the states for Food Stamps through the USDA. If the ebt would go down it generally falters in varying states NY, and MI have had the most problems with the ebt system going down

Based on the last drama; ‘Shutting down the Government’ has no meaning whatsoever. Only Federally (taxpayer) funded public parks and military memorials were targeted - just to ‘teach us a lesson’.

How many Federal employees went unpaid?
How many welfare checks were stopped?
How many taxes went uncollected?
How many Federal lawmakers lost their security staff?

Just more theatrics/threats from the land of make believe.

The USA is done and RINO’s will never win another election after just voting for their elimination. With millions of syrian muslims, haitians, central americans, and laraza’s coming, the country is now communist and will never be anywhere what it once was. We are finished.

15% of it is shut down. 85% is up and running and bleeding the working man dry.

IT'S NOT ABOUT BLAME!!! It's about getting out-of-control anti-US citizen, anti-Constitution forces kicked out of DC.

What happened in the HOR was despicable. Can Boehner be impeached? Is the HOR vote even legal?

Will the media refer to their team as The Party of No?

My take is that the dems are trying to pass themselves off as the Official Party Of Fiscal Responsibility. One of the new masks being custom fitted for the 2016 election. While the GOP folk are boozing it up and shrugging off the voters who ‘brung ‘em to the dance’, the DNC gnomes are hard at work, calculating.
