Sure it is .... When Washington is this broken, it's always the most innocentn people like you and I who get hurt. Political careers may be made and lost today as President Trump and Republicans and Democrats in Congress trade blame while the government races toward a midnight shutdown deadline. They should work together for a change.. wont happen .. anytime soon ... But while Washington senators fight over stakes of the funding drama, the real victims of the latest deal into government disfunction are powerless to influence their fates, and can only look on in rising panic and fear. In the american people .. why cant they get this done? because theyd rather fight with each other on this.. than get a good plan for everyone ..

The GOP controls the Senate and the House, I do not see how the Democrats would be held responsible here for an internal mismanagement of his party by the brilliant tenant in the White House ?

@kayshope Not sure that it would be a bad thing if Trump was understanding that he is not an absolute monarch.

This election year is so important. All of the decisions these congressmen have been making and not making are going to cost them their jobs.

Saw a bit of that on the News something that they were warning Trump about something and it was not very clear what but he did not seem very moved by it all.

Yup, they're like a bunch of kids on the playground fighting over toys @kayshope . And you would think with the Dow Jones at it's highest levels in history, that there wouldn't be a problem. And using this DACA crap as an excuse to force the government into kissing butt is a crock of crap.

Both sides are playing "chicken" and waiting to see who blinks first. Trump with his wall and the democrats with the DACA immigration issue. Maybe it won't be such a bad thing if your inept government shuts down and let people who actually work run the country instead.
