[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moderate posting.  I like the five-day-CR idea.  Dems could force CHiP through with today's five-day-CR, and then insist that DACA fix be included in the next CR in late January.  Repubs get to avoid causing a shutdown, Trump gets to claim victory, and Dems actually get all the legislative items they wanted.  Everyone happy.

Indeed, maybe Dems should just keep stringing this along in 5-15 day increments, and insisting that Republicans pass bits of Dem legislation with each new CR.  Republicans cannot develop an actual budget to pass, so Dems should use this Republican weakness to maximum advantage.[/quote]

as a federal employee, i say NO to this.  some of us travel quite a bit and it is impossible to plan ahead and travel to DO OUR JOB with these CRs dribbling in.  no.  shut the damn thing down, figure the crap out of the issues, and pass a budget so we can go back to work and do our jobs properly.[/quote]

Another fed. Agree just shut the whole thing down, completely (except the very small part of the military that is actually defending the nation) and not partial shutdown.  Give Americans a chance to really understand what government does.  That’s the only way congress might get the wake up call that it needs. It has one critical job.  Fund the government on time.  They are four months overdue and playing games with lives. [/quote]
DP. Yes, part of the problem is when the "government" goes through a "shut down" it is really only some things like parks and museums. If the government REALLY shut down then people would realize it is significant and perhaps Congress (on the whole) wouldn't screw around with it so much. [/quote]

original Fed PP who says NO to another CR.  totally, totally agree.  can you imagine if imports came to a halt (that is what i do).  omg.  [/quote]
