The guy with no bank account wants to solve the Federal Government's bank account problem.

[patricajackson]

They all need to be fired! You are there for the people! How can you shut down the government, but you get paid!

[georgesouthwick]

I sometimes believe these people have no concern for those they are supposed to represent. It does no good to pass legislation that has little to no chance of passing the Senate and would certainly be vetoed should it happen to pass.

[margaretsomerville]

The House has a fiduciary responsibility to the Federal Government and those who serve our country. Shame on the GOP to deny funding

[SpayAndNeuterChristians]

Remove the Tax Exempt Status of American Churches and fund Education.

[GwendolynWilliams-em]

Our Government can fund two Wars with our Tax dollars/ but can't keep Government Offices open. Shame 7:06

Not even once does any politician mention raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations when they preach about reducing the deficit.

[realamerican]

In other words, the GOP is a complete mess, dears.

[darlenegoodall]

They should push back. Its not a good deal. There are no spending cuts as promised

[whortle]

Ethics code? You mean, Supreme Court Justices don’t know the difference between tight and wrong?

[JL_Lux]

Omgggg the republicans can’t get it together

[curt]

That didn't take long for them to turn on him

[doreen]

I didn't know air traffic controllers were paid by the government

[marvinhagler]

Playing with citizens lives.... absolutely disgusting, ALONG EVERYTHING GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY.... RIGHT NOW... PATHETIC

[Jr_Sly]

The military needs to get paid I don’t wanna see a shut down 😢

[Chainyanker]

More House chaos, thanks Repubs, I’ll keep that in mind next time I vote.

[stevenwunder]

If it shuts down so does their paycheck. No work no pay, or at least dock their wages.

[viperabyss]

Let's stop paying air traffic controllers a week before the holiday season! What can possibly go wrong?

[TimothyCollins]

So apparently this week's speaker also can't get reps in line.

[OldGrumpyDude]

The slow motion republican coup moves on.
