    Default Re: US Federal Government Shutdown

    Spending bills originate with the House: it is the Senate's right to amend it.

    My point: it cuts both ways. If the Senate is at fault for not passing the bill unamended, the House is at fault for ignoring the amendments and trying again to pass the unamended bill.
    Nihil nobis metuendum est, praeter metum ipsum. - Caesar
    We have not to fear anything, except fear itself.



    Ibant obscuri sola sub nocte per umbram
    perque domos Ditis vacuas et inania regna:
    quale per incertam lunam sub luce maligna
    est iter in silvis, ubi caelum condidit umbra
    Iuppiter, et rebus nox abstulit atra colorem.     - Vergil
