Day 9—Pathetic losers play the fiddle while the US burns…..we have so much to look forward to in the coming days…….

I would like to remind our crackerjack legislators that they are suppose to govern for the people of this country……these games are getting us nowhere and nowhere very quickly…….the only thing this shutdown has done is eliminate a lot of revenue for this country…has done little to save us any cash…….now if that is your idea of governing then apparently we have different ideas as to what these pathetic fools were elected to do……

With that said….are there any ideas for finding a solution to this brain teaser thought up by MENSA rejects?

There’s still no end in sight for the government shutdown. But if an end were in sight, what might it look like? CBS breaks down the possibilities:

• Moderate Republicans to the Rescue? Rep. Peter King has been leading meetings of his moderate colleagues. King has been an outspoken critic of the shutdown. “This never had a chance to work,” he said yesterday, according to the Hill, bashing the “suicide caucus” that caused it. But so far they haven’t come up with any viable plan, member Jon Runyan tells Roll Call.

• The Discharge Petition? Democrats have begun circling a petition which, if a majority of House members sign, would force a vote on a bill to reopen the government. But Runyan says that won’t work, because the petition wouldn’t kick in until after the Oct. 17 debt ceiling deadline. “It’s going to get real [bleep] on the 17th,” he adds.
• A Grand Bargain? John Boehner has reportedly been pitching a packaged deal to the White House tying the continuing resolution and debt limit to sweeping fiscal reforms. “Everybody laughed at him because they’ve heard this song and dance so many times,” one Democratic aide tells Politico.

• Democrats Could Give Something Up? A handful of lawmakers from both sides of the aisle last week proposed repealing a small part of the Affordable Care Act—the 2.3% tax on medical device sales—in exchange for reopening the government. But Harry Reid called the play “an act of desperation” and vowed to stick to his guns.

• Boehner Could Cave? But the speaker claims that, even if he allowed a vote on a clean bill, there wouldn’t be enough votes to pass it.

If none of those sound likely to you, you’re not alone. Despite frustration in the ranks, both sides’ leaders are barely even talking. “There may be a back room somewhere,” Boehner said yesterday. “But there’s nobody in it.”

Who will blink first?  Not one of these asswads will take responsibility for the crisis that they are creating…..and when the time comes fingers will be pointed, speeches will be made and we will still be screwed, but someone will have secured their place in line for the bucks for their 2016 campaigns……and that will be the only winner in this dance of morons!
