@cbsnews: Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) delivered a fiery floor speech blaming Democrats for extending the government shutdown, now on day 29, saying they’ve voted 13 times against bills to reopen the government and fund programs like SNAP and WIC. Thune objected to a request by Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) to pass a SNAP benefits bill by unanimous consent. "This isn't a political game. These are real people's lives we're talking about," he said. "13 times people over here voted to fund SNAP. 13 times they voted to fund WIC. My aching back." #politics #congress #democrat #republican #governmentshutdown
if the government is shut down, I shouldn't be paying taxes

Democrats are refusing to take away the medical benefits to the most vulnerable Americans. The Republicans want to increase the cost of medical insurance and medicine. What kind of disservice is this?
