Government Shutdown

OK, I'm going off script again. Our boneheads in Washington have shutdown the government. The American people are & have taken a back seat to a Hatfields & McCoys scenario in Washington between the Republicans & Democrats for the last several years. These politicians do not represent us, the people. They represent their party first, foremost & last. There is no compromise. There is no middle ground. And we are to blame for re-electing the same idiots every year. The system is broke. I bet if we withheld their pay something would get done.
