I have to agree with every word this guy says in his article.
However you slice and dice the history, the strategery, and the
underlying issues, the decision to live with a government shutdown for
an extended period of time — inflicting modest-but-real harm on the
economy, needlessly disrupting the lives and paychecks of many thousands
of hardworking people, and further tarnishing the Republican Party’s
already not-exactly-shiny image — in pursuit of obviously, obviously
unattainable goals was not a normal political blunder by a
normally-functioning political party. It was an irresponsible,
dysfunctional and deeply pointless act, carried out by a party that on
the evidence of the last few weeks shouldn’t be trusted with the
management of a banana stand, let alone the House of Representatives.
This entire affair was a giant own goal on the GOP. They have shown that they cannot effectively govern when money is involved.
