        So what your saying is that the government shutdown is do to the Republicans inaction.

        Shit the entire concept of government shutdowns started in the U.S. during Ronald Regans presidency when he vetoed a spending bill. They basically invented government shutdowns to weaponize the ability to hold basic needs from the people and call it legal to get what they want.
