Just wondering, but what do you expect Boehner and the GOP to do when the democrats still control the senate and the White House? There’s only so much we can do until we regain a majority in the senate and retake the White House. The House Republicans can pass any bill they want, but Reid and Obama can shoot down any GOP-backed bill, and endless stalemate and government shut-down in NOT a viable option.

Why is a shutdown not a viable option?

What are you afraid of?

“Why is a shutdown not a viable option?”

It’s not a viable option for the long run, because while the federal government is bloated, intrusive, and much too costly, it still does a lot of vital functions like running the military, running the FBI, CIA, FAA, DOT, federal courts, and the social security administration. We could disband the Dept. of Education and nobody would even notice, but we need most of the federal government to function over the long term to keep our country and our economy running and maintain national security. That’s why an endless stalemate and shut down is not a viable option for the GOP leadership.
