Cute, but the gridlock in congress and elsewhere in the government is a good thing. It keeps the government's attention focused on screwing up their own affairs and not on screwing up yours.
- Fomite 12y agoBudgets are kind of a thing necessary to keep the country running. Also, you're assuming "your affairs" aren't screwed up by deadlock. This isn't true for anyone on medicare, medicaid, the VA, most scientists in the U.S., any public sector employee (of which there are many)...etc.
