re: #506 Hecuba’s daughter

Is this the point you are making: If the other side really doesn’t care about the harm being done to the country and will allow the country to remain shutdown forever, do you cave in to ameliorate the situation for the 100,000’s of federal workers that are currently receiving no pay? Do you compromise to stop the destruction of this country?

OTOH: Will the compromise actually lead to this destruction?

The GOP doesn’t care about federal employees. But when millions of voters get angry about not being able to get their tax refunds, they will fold.
