The Economy, Again (And Why We Need to Let the Democrats Shut Down the Government)

House Republicans have passed $60 billion in federal spending cuts (a tad short of the $100 billion promised.)
Now Senate Republicans are not so sure.
Both House and Senate Republicans are now apparently considering a short term bill to keep the government running while they continue to work on a budget bill.
They seem to be worried that the Democrats will blame the Republicans for shutting down the government.
And, of course, in this game of budgetary chicken, the Democrats are glad to make the Republicans run scared.
How 'bout we just let the Democrats shut down the government? I really don't think anyone will miss them.
Social security and Medicare/Medicaid will continue; intelligence agencies and armed services will continue to serve.
Write your Representatives and Senators and let them know how you feel!
