Let it shut down, if we can't get what we want out of it.
They can't blame Democrats, they're in the majority. If there isn't anything we can get, because they don't want to give us anything in exchange for our votes, then shut 'er down.
It's time we started playing hardball and quit mollycoddling and playing like old line politics still works. If the government shuts down because of their stupidity, then let it go. And start pointing the fingers.
