"Since we cannot read minds, we cannot say who -- if anybody -- "wants
to shut down the government." But we do know who had the option to keep
the government running and chose not to. The money voted by the House of
Representatives covered everything that the government does, except for
ObamaCare.
The Senate chose not to vote to authorize that money to be spent,
because it did not include money for ObamaCare. Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid says that he wants a "clean" bill from the House of
Representatives, and some in the media keep repeating the word "clean"
like a mantra. But what is unclean about not giving Harry Reid
everything he wants?
If Senator Reid and President Obama refuse to accept the money required
to run the government, because it leaves out the money they want to run
ObamaCare, that is their right. But that is also their responsibility." [Thomas Sowell]
