Subject: Re: AFGE union calls shutdown end
Federal workers are NOT getting paid. TSA and air traffic controllers are not getting paid, and that could have dangerous consequences.
This is an extremely shoddy way to treat our public servants.

Republicans can still get the blame for price hikes in Affordable Care Act premiums, even if the shutdown ends today. Though why they should when it's simply the expiration of a TEMPORARY measure put in place by Democrats without Republican support, I do not know.

No real reason for me to stick my oar in here, but when has that ever stopped me before?

On behalf of all decent Americans (of whom Bruce Springsteen reminds us that there are three for every Donald Trump supporter), my simple message to Republicans regarding the impending health care apocalypse is:

"You broke it——you bought it."
