 In #1 vxbush said: Not me. Is this ascribable to Charlie Kirk's assassination, as some do? I believe so. I think a revival has been brewing for some time, the assassination was the catalyst.

                                             Reply to vxbush in 2:  Heck, I be in favor of a shutdown until they come up with an actual budget something they are required to do but haven't done in 17 years. It's been CRs as far as the eye can see. No pay for congress until they come up with a budget.

 In #5 JCM said: No pay for congress until they come up with a budget. I used to think that was a good idea until I realized they'd just pass a bloated budget to get paid.
