re: #62 RogueOne

No, this is the ‘11 budget fight, a budget that was supposed to be passed by sept ‘10. The repubs have said they’ve allowed 2 continuances and they aren’t going to allow anymore.

The dems might be right on this, they were the last time. The repubs could take a beating over a shutdown. The risk as I see it is the world (i.e., the media) has changed a lot since 1995 and the dems might be shooting themselves in the foot.

I think Congress as a whole is pretty unpopular, the person who will win if a showdown occurs will be the president, not either party in the House. The Congress is dysfunctional no matter who runs it. And it’s of their own making because they make their own rules. They will all look like children who can’t do their jobs and the president will come across as a grown up who is waiting for the children to send him a budget he can sign.
