ABC News: America This Morning: ‘Government Shutdown Could Cost $300M Per Day’

ABC News: Government Shutdown Could Cost $300M Per DaySource:ABC News with a look at the Federal Government shutdown.

“ABC News’ Tahman Bradley says no new talks are planned on the second day of the government shutdown.”

From ABC News

As I’ve already written about this:

“I wouldn’t say that the Tea Party House government shutdown is a political suicide mission, because this plan (if you want to call it that) doesn’t even seem to have a mission, or even a pilot. It’s more like drunk people at a pool with a group of them going up on the high dive, blindfolded, and one of them falls off and never makes it to the water. And that’s assuming that House Republicans are politically suicidal to go through with this. Or, are they just doing this for their right-wing-populist base and trying to tell them that they’re doing whatever they can to try to end the Affordable Care Act. (Also known as ObamaCare)”

I think the only way this ends, is if you see a group of maybe 20 House Republicans (who the a mainstream media likes to call moderates) who start feeling the heat about the government shutdown back home. As well as are worried about getting reelected next year, because they’re in swing districts, who represent Federal military, law enforcement, and other Federal workers, who need their jobs to pay their bills.

And these Republicans go to Speaker John Boehner and essentially tell him this: “Put a clean government funding bill on the floor, or I’ll vote for the House Democrats discharge petition, to get that bill on the floor.”

About Erik Schneider

I use the American Liberal photo as the cover photo for this blog, because that’s exactly what I am. And no, not in the stereotypical, sort of pop culture sense of what an American Liberal is supposed to be. But someone who represents what American liberalism, as well as European liberalism, and perhaps the liberalism of the rest of the world outside of the United States. Liberals are people who believe in defense of liberal democracy, as well as the preservation of liberal democracy. And of course we also believe in liberal democracy with all the individual rights, and other liberal values that come from liberal democracy, the liberal democratic form of government, like equal opportunity, equal rights, equal justice, property rights, individual freedom and freedom of choice for everybody, as well as limited but responsible government, and fiscal responsibility
