Disagree ... the republicans won the majority because the dems spending was reckless and they were forcing programs down our throat that the american people did not want. The people said enough ... they don't want the huge government expansion and control that the dems and Obama want.

I feel the republicans must stand their ground to show they heard the people .... $61 billion is a drop in the bucket and I am more upset they did not go for more.   But I am sure they were showing middle ground and now the dems look foolish that they will not even cut a lousy $61 billion. Nuts.

You are right the last time government got shut down you got days off and then back pay ... I hope it does not happen this time and every republican goes on TV saying the dems forced the shut down do to their selfish behavior that will lead to a collapse of the country and much more pain unless they start to face up to the problem THEY created.

You have the president supporting protests in a state against their governments decision to make the government employees pay a portion of their healthcare and pension ... just like every private sector employee ... this is nuts. Obama is acting like a dictator and pitting the federal government against the states. Sorry that is not how our constitution was set up.

We are headed for a showdown, like in Egypt ... but this time it will be demanding Obama out of office.
