Jesus Christ I'm sick of government shutdown drama. Do your jobs and figure out the budget on time, you fucking assholes.

They have. Republicans are in charge rn, and they decided to gut 2 trillion in programs like Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and a shitload of other stuff so that they can feel slightly better about the 4.5 Trillion deficit they're going to add by extending their tax cuts for the rich.

That's why a lot of people are upset enough to want the government to shut down rather than face that reality.
