With any government shutdown, the first who should lose their pay, or their job, are the members of the U.S. House and Senate. They forget they are supposed to work for the American people, not their political party or for any other elected official. They do not take orders from the White House. 

They suffer no consequences for their refusal to talk with, rather than at, each other and have forgotten the word compromise. A shutdown does not cause them any pain or problem, so they do not care. 

All our elected officials in Washington act like spoiled children, who only care about what they want and ignore the problems and needs of the people outside their Washington bubble. 

I hope every American remembers their disgusting self-serving, finger pointing, failure to act behavior when the next election comes around. It is time to clean house and get them all out. Enough!
