How long can the
government function
in shutdown mode?
At what point
do things just
they don't, they can't
function at all
and they shut down?
Places like Wisconsin
you feel it less, right?
I think I was
doing a town hall
in Derrick Van Orden's
district last week
and I asked about
50 people, I said
who's feeling the impact directl
One person raise their hand
out of 50 people.
That's because we're in Wisconsi
But if you're trying
to get ahold of Social Security
you want to go to a national par
but now if you're eligible
for SNAP benefits
you're going to start feeling it
So you're going to see
more of those things
now happen.
I just think by the time
next week I'm going to go
back to Washington, even if
the House Republicans aren't
I'm going to show up
because that's my job to be ther
But at the same time
we're going to be
at two-and-a-half weeks out
from their artificial deadline
anyway, right?
So at some point
we have to
quit holding our breath.
If you're the House Republicans
show up in Washington
and let's negotiate.
If not even this
let's negotiate
the Farm Bill
that's two years overdue.
Let's do the Older Americans Act
reauthorization
that's overdue.
But let's do something.
Just simply
taking another week
of paid vacation
doesn't solve anything.
