Why? All of this is just a political shadow play of absurdity put on to distract the citizens from our elected official's complete contempt of the general population and their own incompetence in performing the jobs that we elected and pay them to do.

Both sides only care about coming out of this shutdown and being able to proclaim that they have "won." All they care about is keeping their jobs, pay & power until they can retire on the government tit and become a lobbyist for a PAC and get the real payout.

Do you really think that any of these politicians give two squirts of piss for anyone who is out of work or not being paid during the shutdown? Notice that they are still getting paid to do nothing. 🐴

I wish I could put the "Sarcasm" smiley behind this post but that would just be too cynical.

But are not the citizens more content to watch the shadows than to hurt their eyes by looking at the light?

I've been rethinking my previous post and I'm beginning to think that we are really chained to a wall in a cave looking at shadows cast on a blank wall or maybe we are all in the Matrix. Either way we're screwed. Kind of a Plato’s Closet thing.

Meh, we can ride this out and get back on track a bit. The recession we are still generally coming out of is a good, opportune time.
