Do you think a government shutdown could be a good thing?
1st congress has already put in the prevision that they'll continued to be payed-that's a bad thing!
2nd if it's not done now what's going to happen when the democrats ask for a deficit increase?
3rd if our government defaults now "WE" could save being at the mercy of our creditors when the 2nd thing occurs.
4th "WE" have been the silent =bunch= as long as our pocketbooks can stand it, it's speak up now or forever hold-your-peace while you still have one to hold!
**That's why I favor what Senator Ted Cruz has tried to accomplish
which is bring the peoples attention to what's happening. Yes, he is not in favor of Obamacare but his main stance is making citizens aware of the immediate future which is the survival of this country.**
"OF the people, by the people, for the people this is his "STANCE!"

Ted Cruz has listen to the people. Obama doesn't care cause he think he is right on everything. Stop Obama from spending more money.

growing group of Ted Cruz's Republican Senate colleagues are infuriated with his tactics.
So frustrated was Arizona Senator John McCain with the latest, forcing fellow Republicans to take a politically risky vote on lifting the debt ceiling, that yesterday he tweeted a Wall Street Journal editorial accusing the Texas lawmaker of instigating "needless drama that helps to explain why Republicans remain a minority."

Yet there's not much McCain, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell or other Republicans can do to change Cruz's behavior.
"In this day and age, there are no tools available to a leader to punish a member like Senator Cruz, especially because Senator Cruz doesn't care what either the leader or the rest of his caucus thinks," said Jim Manley, a former top aide to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat.
_______
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell’s vote yesterday to clear the way for Congress to lift the federal debt ceiling made the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s task of helping him win re-election a lot harder.
And, according to McConnell’s allies, one of their own is to blame: Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.
“Ted Cruz did not join the Senate to be part of the Republican team,” said Republican strategist Ron Bonjean, who was an aide to former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott. “And he certainly isn’t finding any new pals for this one.”
An intra-party tug of war playing out in six Republican Senate primary campaigns surfaced on the chamber’s floor when Cruz insisted on a 60-vote threshold to advance a bill lifting the nation’s borrowing cap. That meant at least five Republicans were needed to help the 55-member Democratic caucus move the bill forward.
Republicans struggled to round up the votes until McConnell and his top lieutenant, Senator John Cornyn of Texas, stepped forward to vote “yes.” Both men face primary election challenges this year from the small-government Tea Party movement that propelled Cruz to the Senate in the 2012 election.
Ten other Republicans joined McConnell and Cornyn in the 67-31 vote advancing the bill. Shortly afterward all 12 opposed final passage, which occurred on a 55-43 party-line vote that sent the measure to President Barack Obama for his signature.
