While I'm NO fan of Ted Cruz, both sides of the aisle have plenty of blame to share with this mess. Reid is a true clown as well.

A congress that truly isn't accountable to the people is the problem. Everyone loves their local rep; it;'s the other ones that are bad. Seriously need four year term limit for every political office.

When you (congress) have your own pension plan, health care, and basically jobs for life, what's the incentive to do anything but pander to constituents?

Hope things work out for you fed gov't guys. These fools will run it down to the last minute.
