These self-lauded masturbatory "patriots" are going to further tank the US credit rating and thereby the US dollar playing right into the hands of China and Russia pushing alternative global currency exchange options. When all those dollars sold and otherwise happy to stay tied up in overseas transactions come home to roost, inflation will effect everyone of their billionaire donors, and everyone else, more than any economic policies they're getting funding to push domestically. It's stupid, short sighted and treasonous to leave the federal government unfunded. There's no excuse. They need to do their damn jobs.
