Real mature. Are you willing to pay for them because that is their life. I highly doubt private industry will have jobs to replace that, let alone at pay values. Thank you for a proposal that will crater the economy.

The Congress gets paid - so shut it. They can pay the govt people even if certain aspects close - like parks and visa and passports locations - but essentials still have to show up n NOT get any money for it as a rightful n lawful exchange for working there. All of is BS. They keep playing with people like pawns on a board. All of them are Azzholes. Only way to stop this mess for ever - walk out. Nobody shows up !

C'mon Mr. President quit playing so much golf, keep away from the hookers and govern!!!
Democrats are banking on people who aren't paying close attention won't know about the filibuster rule that Dems are using to prevent the budget and legislation from being passed. They'll say that R's are the majority even though the majority isn't enough.

As usual, Dems depending on the ignorance of the people to play games.

Because it is not one man’s issue! You love infantile fingerprinting - it’s the sick congress mentality that really , but really does not include our feelings or thoughts.

His comments on how he knew more than the generals was just stupid.

And let me guess? Did you support Obama? Obama the president that did his best to destroy the military generals that didn't he agree with his anti-American policies.
