Aimed at funding only certain parts of the government. We have sent over four proposals and they have rejected all of them. We sat down to resolve the differences, they will not negotiate.

All i want to do is go to conference on a shortterm cr. We have a debt ceiling staring us in the face. And we wants to talk about a shortterm cr . Senate democrats have indicated a number of times those proposals from the house, the continuing resolution to fund little slivers of the government are dead on arrival. Meanwhile, the di
Government to shut down because they refuse to pass a budget that funded obama care. Taking a stand to try to deny millions of peoples insurance. Last night, a gop lawmaker explained to me why hes not worried about federal workers losing their paychecks. If history is any indication, they will be made whole and will receive their back pay and it will basically be a paid vacation. Republicans think a shutdown is a paid vacation. No big deal. Few days off to relax. Easy for them to say. Members of congress are still getting paid. These gop lawmakers are pocketing their six figure salaries but taking away money from hard working people all across the country. 3,000 Johnson Space Center Employees are among the federal workers that were sent home from work this morning because of the shutdown. It was devastating. Whats next for you . Try to make some money on the side, cut some grass or bar tend or whatever. Furloughs earlier in the summer took 1300 away from their paychecks and forced big

James macdonald, thanks for joining us tonight. Thats the ed show. Politicsnation with reverend al sharpton starts right now. Good evening, rev. Good evening, ed. And thanks to you for tuning in. Tonights lead, dishonoring our fallen heroes. This republican shutdown of the government has created a new outrage thats shocked the conscience of the nation. Nbc news reports since the shutdown, the military has been unable to pay death benefits to the families of u. S. Troops who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. This is marine Lance Corporal jeremiah collins. His family called him jay. Jay died saturday while serving in afghanistan. Corporal collins was just 19 years old. His body was returned to Dover Air Force base in delaware yesterday. By now, his mother should have received a de
Hurting the Republican Party. But we also want basic fairness for all americans under obama care. What do you say for the workers, sir . My favorite is identity daily news. The house of turds. The president seized the bully pulpit to say once more we will not negotiate. Let me repeat, nobody gets to hurt our economy and millions of hard working families over a law you dont like. As the president stands firm, republicans continue to turn on each other. Theres so much opposition to that policy, its madness, going absolutely nowhere. I think what were going to do is play out the strategy that i would call thats kind of an oxymoron because its really not a strategy. With the gop in disarray, the rightwing media is working overtime to spin a Government Shutdown. 800,000 federal workers furloughed, okay . Most people wont know that. This is a pinprick. It is not the end of the world. People are probably going to realize they can live with a lot less government. Maybe im just one of the few p
