No more government - boo hoo!

Quote:
Amid the threat of a looming government shutdown, House Speaker John Boehner is getting emotional again.

Per ABC News's Jon Karl, the Republican leader, who is known for his tears, was updating the House GOP caucus this morning on the ongoing budget stand-off when his emotions got the best of him. As he was thanking fellow Republicans for sticking with him amid the tense negotiations, the GOP lawmakers rose to give him a standing ovation, prompting Boehner to weep.

I think I'm going to barf.

The only reason Boehner is crying is because he's thinking of all the special interest contributions he might miss if the government was shut down.

Get rid of Congress. That would balance the budget and give the nation a chance to become a democracy again.
