The problem with shutdowns is that they aren’t really shut-downs; they’re interruptions of services that are already poorly delivered; also, they’re paid vacations for government employees. After a shutdown, piled up work is dealt with, slowly. There’s nothing accomplished, other than inefficiency and inconvenience.

Not only that, the base didn't even support the GOP after this last "shutdown." I turned on Beck that morning expecting him to at least give some kudos to Congressional Republicans for taking a stand but only got bombarded with "defund the GOP" by him, Pat, and Stu.

If you are looking to Beck for anything resembling conservatism, keep looking.
