Showing Original Post only (View all)Republican/Libertarian/TeaParty/Conservatives just achieved their wet dream [View all]
of putting most of the government workers out of a job and shrinking government to bathtub size. They have left the individual states as the only fully functioning governments. (tenth amendment orgasm) They passed a bill to pay the military, and though it doesn't fund other military enterprises (wargasm) that seems to be one thing they could agree on.
So riddle me this?
What is their incentive to turning the government back on?

This is it exactly. They have no incentive, and we can only changing it by getting out and voting.
