Government Shutdown is Government Failure

 By CE Marshall

     Once again, we see the two parties are incapable of coming to any sort of agreement.  They are like petulant children that need a very good spanking.  This most current shutdown is the longest in history, so now it becomes one more example of how bad government has gotten and the fact that it's not getting better.  I throw my hands up on this one, but I must say that the people voted for Trump and the Republicans so if we are truly living in a Democratic Republic then the Democrats need to plead their case to the people in the next round of elections not by stalling the process of legislation.  They seem to be at the will of their more extreme supporters who are focused only on hating Trump and it is working somewhat as the recent elections of shown.  It pays to block the other party, and that is at the core of our most current shutdown.  Anyway, once again the people "all the people" are the last of anyone's concern and it's all about posturing and politics.  The parties need to go- I'm not sure how that would look or how this could be maneuvered, but I believe that's the only solution.  Their only reason for existing is to stop each other, which means they're stopping half the population from being governed at the consent of the people.  Government shutdown is not the consent of the people it's the consent of obstructionists.    

In My Humble Opinion.....
