Congress closing in on shutdown deadline with no clear plan

24. It doesn't have to 'hurt a lot'.

We can step up and help each other survive. We can combine our resources to make sure we all get through this. And then, when they see that they cannot stop us from resisting, we might get some respBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!

(Knew I could not get through that with a straight face.)

We will never get though this and maintain anything like the promise of our Constitution without dropping this business head mentality we have. The 'I got mine, screw you' crowd, which are on both sides of the aisle, will never allow us to be that community minded ever again. Until we understand that this attitude is never going to allow any meaningful general support, we will just be talking about sticking together, but we don't really mean it.

Two things are going to get us through this. Effort (with no thought of reward) and Sacrifice. Which means, we are in big trouble, as both of those are 'anti-American'!
