Aren’t both Republicans and Democrats responsible for this government shutdown?

Yes they are. People who toe the party line are so concerned with opposing the other side that they have completely stopped working for the people. Bi-partisan politics are destroying America. Not to mention that most people who would label themselves as Rep. or Dem. are incapable of thinking for themselves and are only proficient at parroting the ideas of others. How do you think it would go over if you stopped going to work because you didn't get your way? I'm just looking forward to watching it all fall apart and enjoying the aftermath.
