Those Republicans actually GIDDY that they were going to shut down the government. How long will it last? No way to know...but all i know is.. THEY ARE DOING A HAPPY DANCE.... that the Government will be shut down. People who are like that, do not give a damn, when Government will start up again.

Bastards.
