Now this commentator has it right.

Shut down government until it can figure out how to live inside its
means. Like heroin, the best way to quit is cold turkey. You just stop
taking on more debt.


yeah. let's stop the fight against al qaida so the GOP can figure out
how to cut MORE taxes on the rich


What the **** are you talking about. The military still gets paid, and
it's the fleabaggers in congress that refused to do their work the last
4 years, not the republicans..


really? then i guess you better call the folks at 'military.com' and
tell 'em they ****ed up:

U.S. military troops at war in Iraq and Afghanistan would receive
one-week's pay instead of two in their next paycheck if the government
shuts down this weekend due to the federal budget impasse, according
to a senior defense official.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss personnel
issues, said the military can't be paid during a funding lapse until a
new appropriations bill or continuing resolution is passed by Congress
