Bridges continue to rust,school roofs leak,roads are crumbling,soldiers are in danger of not getting paid and essential agencies may be shut down, but the clown show that is Congress stays open. The clowns who have reached the point of caring for no one but themselves will be paid when the government shuts down, but that is only fitting for these Ringling employees who ignore the reality of sixteen million children going to bed hungry each night.As long as they grow in wealth and continue to have lifetime health benefits the show must go on.The sad part is that they believe they are courageous in this government shut down ,when in reality they are a group of non patriots.
