Gabbard: end reckless shutdown

January 20, 2018, 10:03 AM HST (Updated January 20, 2018, 10:03 AM)

"The American people are sick and tired of political games and absent leadership. Funding the government for weeks at a time through short-term deals, and then shutting it down, is outrageous and was completely preventable. These constant crises are no way to govern and are a disservice to the people of Hawaii, our troops, and our country. It’s long past time to stop kicking the can down the road, put aside partisan bickering, work through our differences and reopen the government. The American people deserve better."

a whole party that has no interest in doing anything for the American people, and another that keeps throwing away all their bargaining chips for the sake of scraps that still get withheld(making me question sometimes whose interests a handful of our party reps are really serving-I wish I didn't have to but Jesus....), then she has her head up her ass. Maybe it plays well to her constituents, but its bullshit.
