We want our money back!

[William769]

(CNN) -- So, when can we expect our refund checks?

Because two can play this game.

On the one side of the federal government shutdown are the people whose job it is to run that government: the Congress and the White House. Democrats, Republicans, conservatives, liberals -- no one forced any of them to take those jobs. They wanted them. Then ran for them. They got them.

On the other side -- at least in a rational world, which this isn't -- is us. The taxpayers.

Congress still gets paid -- it's in the Constitution

1. We pay taxes to keep the Government going

So they should pay us for the shut down. I'm willing to take $100.00 a day. Granted, I pay nothing near that in taxes, but we should get more back because we could be a sitting duck to "terrorist".

2. Don't forget to include interest.
