They have. Look it up, Beatrice. Look to those eras when the D's controlled both houses of Congress, and / or when the President was a D. Or look to the instances when those roles are reversed, for that matter. I'd concede that the R's may have been more directly responsible for it in more recent years..in their effort to curtail the Congress from spending us into oblivion. In those instances where they were apparently more responsible, it was
usually about deficit reduction and reduced spending. That is the core reason for most shutdowns even though multiple additional and separate issues are debated....but that's a basic infallible difference between the two parties..again, generally speaking. It takes two to tango in this shutdown musical, Delbert. So if you really want to adhere to real truths instead of calling folks a liar, the fact is both parties have and will continue to contribute to the incidence of shutdowns; it's inherent differences in the ideological approach to spending as a base cause ( not each and every time, but often). Though, R's are somewhat more fond of spending tax dollars on things that explode / make noise / fly faster and further, etc. I'll admit to that.
And, since you called me a liar..you can kith my azimuth...and subsequently plant the accusation deep in your sigmoid flexure. After those actions take place we're even, you pot-stirrer.
Have a nice day, though.
Since mister picture is suffering from CFI (cranial fecal impaction), I doubt that he will be able to decipher the instructions you gave him concerning what he can kiss and where he can put the accusation he made. Remember Charles, you are not dealing with the sharpest knife in the drawer when you have discourse with him...Or, as my Father used to say "he is thicker in the head than a hog in the ass".....
