Do your job or else. [View all]

There is not a whole lot that Congress is required to do. However, one of those things is to come up with a budget. They can't even do that.

Republicans continue to lie with deep sincerity. Their constituents should hold them accountable, but, they won't. Their phone lines should be flooded with calls to do their job.

Their tribe is important to them. They must hang together or those "radical leftists" will walk all over them. Their silence is complicity.

But the sad fact is that Republicans are not working for the people of this country. They are working for a very small number, the billionaires. Everything they do is for the benefit of the billionaires. They would throw millions of Americans off their healthcare at the drop of a pin. They simply do not care.

So long as they can get the Democrats to take half the blame, they are perfectly content.

There is no end in sight for this government shutdown.
