Political Post #3 (because #1 and #2 came last night). This country needs a jobs bill. We need to stabilize our economy (not destabilize it). We need a highway and infrastructure bill. We need a confirmed Treasury Secretary. We need a AAA bond rating.
What we don't need is a self-inflicted wound to our economy. And we certainly don't need it over the ACA. The ACA was ALREADY a compromise, built on a private insurance model created by the Heritage Foundation, implemented by Mitt Romney, and succeeding in Massachusetts.
There is a political process for improving and correcting legislation. This is not it.
Currently, there are a MAJORITY of House members (Dems and moderate Repubs) who would pass a clean CR which would immediately pass the Senate and immediately get signed by the President and end the shutdown. There is a small group within the Republican Party holding hostage two chambers, the executive branch, 800,000 federal employees, and the entire US and world economies.
Enough already.
