It is. On Friday, the Democrats--THE DEMOCRATS--voted late in the day, after the news cycle passed, to NOT pay federal workers and the military. Three Democrats voted with Republicans to pay these workers. Who's fault is that?
There have been 14 clean CR votes now, and the Democrats refuse to do what they've done every time in past shutdowns, vote to open the government. Instead, like criminals holding a hostage, they continue to demand ransom. Schumer reduced the ransom demands some this week, but he's still demanding that Congress fund another huge deficit spending bill to prop up the failure of Obamacare.
