Another government shutdown looms.
Why?
Well, many will tell you it's the president's fault.
Or the Speaker's.
Or the guy who talked for hours without saying anything.
Or -- someone else.
First of all -- who cares? Fix it NOW, fix the blame later.
We elect people to govern this country.
And THAT is their job: to govern the country.
So what if the president doesn't agree with their plans and doesn't sign?
Don't they know that that is covered in their job description?
They have the power to do their job without the president's approval.
How?
By going ahead and doing their job.
Again.
Day after day, hour by hour.
Just like you and I when we go to work (or went to work, in the days when employment existed.)
Had they been DOING THEIR JOB all along, things would not have got down to this -- again. They would have learned from the last debacle, and the one before that, and the one before that.
Instead, they are either placing blame or throwing their hands in the air saying "What's the use? It's not going to be signed anyway."
Presidential vetoes can be overrode by a united Congress that is doing its job. (Not signing IS a veto. A/k/a a pocket veto.)
If these people worked in the private sector, they would have been fired after the last time this happened.
Many of these people have fired employees for less.
I think they should be fired.
Remember, when election time comes, that it's not their fault, it's someone else's, that they are NOT doing their jobs, and you -- Yes, YOU -- decide whether or not they get fired, or if you will allow them to give themselves a raise and blame it on the figurehead.
