I love how Republican brinksmanship leads to this absurd self-fulfilling prophecy that government doesn’t and can’t work. It turns out bad faith reaps bad outcomes.

It’s not an accident.
The US credit rating should drop from this and it should happen every time these fascist radicals do anything. This stupid bullshit is criminal. Copy Australia, if they can't do their job, everyone loses their job and we start over with all new elected representatives.
Why are any fellow Americans stupid enough to vote Republican? I just don't get it. This is the party that only benefits billionaires and its powerbase comes from the poorest and shittiest places in the country. Like why don't these people realize the ruse? It is shitty be cause it is Republican.
Our credit rating dropped in August, and I completely agree that it should continue to drop.
As for how people continually vote Republican in this country, you have very poor education coupled with a jingoist culture positively trained to unsustainably pay tribute to corporate worship. The 'pubs stoke and prey on those two basic fears and bully or trick the less aware and more fearful members of American society into voting for them.
30 plus years of brainwashing from Fawx News is what happened.
Predictable, stable system? Who needs it anyway.
Ridiculous
I’m so goes they were able to give themselves a raise! What a bunch of brave souls!
