Yes, creating a budget and then having to vote many times to fund it is rather silly. The budget was done and Republicans voted for funding the PPACA parts of it then.
This is just a bunch of punk terrorists trying to hold my country hostage while they run it into the ground. No logical person would negotiate with thugs like these and I certainly hope they don't.
And besides,
Mitt Romney ran his campaign hard on repealing PPACA. Obama ran on putting it in place. The voters voted. Guess who won?
