And specifically which side of the legislature is responsible for appropriations? And did they not offer an appropriation bill that would have kept government running?So in reality, if the house is doing their job who is shutting down government, Jackhole?Congress has failed to pass any appropriations bills for fiscal year 2014.They offered a continuing resolution that contained a poison pill which they knew was a non-starter.You don't change a law by holding the government hostage.You change a law by winning elections and taking control of the legislature and the White House.Republicans haven't been able to do that, so they will hold their breath until they get their way, like petulant little children.What if the Senate sent a CR to the House that contained gun legislation?Would that be okay with you?You'd probably have a hissy fit.
