re: #91 dog philosopher

yah, it’s true that ‘essential/non-essential’ is a pretty permeable distinction and that things that need to be done will mostly get done

but your old man is an example - if he gets called back since he’s needed, where is the push that will come to shove that will shove boehner and the baggers to quit?

It’s like I said, he’s going back to work, but it’s with the understanding that he’s not getting a paycheck. Yeah, he’s happy to be working again, but when the bills start showing up at the end of this month and the first of next, he and my mother may both decide to say “Fuck it, we’re spending money that will pay the mortgage on getting to and from work.” When too many people have the same thought, the game’s over.

What’s the GOP going to do, fire all of them?
