The BBC headline says it all, and says nothing. US shutdown debate - TopicsExpress



          

The BBC headline says it all, and says nothing. US shutdown debate shifts to Senate. Huh? What? In the first place, it is not a debate. It is a standoff between the President and the duly elected representatives of the People, the House of Representatives. Secondly, it is not shifting. It is galloping. Shifting is when I pass the bread plate to my wife at dinner. Thirdly, it is not up to the Senate. Neither Harry Reid, Democrat Majority Leader of the Senate, nor Senate Republican Leader, Mitch McConnell, can move a muscle unless the move is blessed by both the House of Representatives and the President. Thats the way our government was designed by some pretty astute fellows more than 200 years ago.
