Watch this all the way to the end to see what's up. Both Reps and Dems pull these tactics. This video clearly illustrates this entire shutdown situation has been carefully constructed from the beginning ON BOTH SIDES and is right on track AS PLANNED.
Now factor in that there are two days left until the debt limit is reached, still without an agreement, and the USDA has already sent out notices to states NOT to initiate transfer of EBT food stamp funds in November and to start state emergency back up plans...
Here's what Congressman Van Hollen had to say about this video:
"Late in the evening on September 30, 2013, the House Rules Committee Republicans changed the Rules of the House so that the ONLY Member allowed to call up the Senate's clean CR for a vote was Majority Leader Eric Cantor or his designee -- all but guaranteeing the government would shut down a few hours later and would stay shut down. Previously, any Member would have had the right to bring the CR up for a vote. Democracy has been suspended in the House of Representatives."
