With just days to go before the government runs out of money, the Senate has unveiled a bipartisan stopgap bill in a bid to avert a shutdown – but there’s no guarantee that it will be able to pass in the House as a bloc of conservatives rail against the prospect of a short-term funding extension.
Conservative house extremists WANT a shutdown. They are anti-government more than they even care about any issues they bring up in particular. Since the result of a shutdown is exactly what they want, they have no incentive at all to avoid it.
If they had any quality of character these grifters would be refusing to take the pay and benefits package but is that what we see?
Noooooooooooooope.
