The voters will be constantly reminded this year, about who is REALLY responsible for the $26 billion the government shutdown cost the taxpayers. That money could have went to the unemployed benefits the cons cut off. Do you think any of them will vote for a republican? Maybe the cons think that if they are homeless, they won't be able to vote. How about those that lost their food stamps, will they vote republican? Those two blocks of voters will be enough to throw the cons out of congress. There should be a concentrated effort to get them to the polls this year.
^^^^^extreme example of ignorance.
it does not cost money to shut something down. it saves money. However, the govt employees who were temporarlily laid off were given back pay for staying home.
there was no lost revenue to the govt as a result of shutting down 15% of it for a couple weeks.
should unemployment payments go on forever? should an able bodied american be on unemployment for 5 years, 10 years, forever?
funny how the unemployed find work just after their payments stop. "why work when the govt will give me money to sit on my ass?
