The other good thing that you did not put on here was that this bill also funds the CHIP program for another 6 years. So like I said if they did not do anything about that program then shame on them.

If there is a shutdown, Republicans will get the blame because it'll be the first time in US history the government will shutdown when one party controls both Chambers of Congress and the White House.

Though threatened just about every year for the past 15 or so that I can recall, the government never actually shut down.  Not sure if it would actually be a bad thing if it did, truth be told...

Didn't they shutdown a couple years ago?

I don't know what it exactly means, so maybe this was something totally different.

Technically, yes.  But I was working for the government then, and everyone around me still went to work.  It was a non-blip in my radar screen.

Actually it will be because Democrats care more about illegals (future voters) than they do about our military getting paid.

The military has never NOT gotten paid during shutdowns.

Actually it'll be Donnie's fault according to Donnie himself! 

He said back in 2013 it's the presidents fault for the government to shutdown because he is the leader of the country.

Wait, I was under the impression that the Dems were the minority in both houses? So could it be the fault of the Dems.
