Your need to place blame on one party when BOTH parties are equally culpable shows that you are locked in some fantasy world of good vs evil when the reality of the situation is that it is EVIL vs EVIL. Bloods vs Crips.

i agree, both parties need serious work. however, we all know who has led us to this current shutdown, and is now threatening economic chaos with the debt ceiling. our economy has been showing signs of moving in the right direction, and now all this.
congress knows, and knew full well what their spending would lead to. laws they've passed has brought us to this debt ceiling. had they wished to remain forever below it, they should have budgeted wisely. this isn't something that has just happened. it's been coming for some time. it's disingenuous now for anyone in congress to say 'we must reign in spending'. that horse left the barn a while ago.
