Simple Question
I've had several conversations, and have been reading comments online, from people who either say the shutdown is all Obama's and the Ds fault; or that each side is equally to blame; or that they just find it too hard to figure out who's behind it.
Well, here's the single question the answer to which ought to clarify: who is it that's trying to get a vote on reopening the government with a clean CR, and who is it that refuses to bring it to vote, or filibusters the resolution?
Makes it pretty clear, doesn't it?
