Nobody in congress leaves as long as the shutdown remains in affect. No vacations, no weekends, no time off. Nothing. You stay until it’s done. No finger pointing, no blame game, no running to the media. Just get it done. Congress has no business taking a single day off as long as people are still not getting paid. I know this is a foreign concept to congress. Because when congress talks of sacrifice, they certainly are not talking about themselves. They are used to taking the easy way out. Most are not willing to give up a thing for their country. Stay put. Don’t you dare leave while others are suffering.
Okay liberals. This is the part where you defend your politicians, complain about Trump and explain why staying put until it’s over is a bad idea.
It needs to end. Past shutdowns have not lasted nearly this long. It’s approaching a national emergency. I did not think it would go this far. I misjudged the stubbornness of congress We’re in record territory now. There I admitted it. Now I need your opinion.
Should congress be taking any time off what so ever while people are not getting paid? What do you think?
Yes, Congress should take all the time off it wants, until Mitch McConnell wakes up and smells the coffee, and lets the Senate re-pass the bill which opens government and gives Trump the $1.6B. With a veto-proof majority, as the Senate has already done last month.
