It now appears that the clown show will continue and the government will be shut down. It is so much easier to posture and take intransigent positions rather that be true leaders. There is no challenge or issue that is of importance to the American people that cannot fins major solutions. However persons cannot give what they do not have, and it is obvious that the majority of the congress and also the administration are inept at employing the will of the people. The populous hungers for positive outcomes and yet all they receive are partisan sound bites. It is time to stand and find ways to alter this stagnant group of misfits.
