This small bit was posted on Social Media by Senator Elizabeth Warren:
"We
are now four days into a completely unnecessary, completely avoidable
Republican shutdown. Now that the House Republicans have shut down the
government - holding the country hostage because of some imaginary
government health care boogey man – Republicans almost immediately
turned around and called on us to start reopening parts of our
government.
Why do they do this? Because the boogey man
government is like the boogey man under the bed – it’s not real. It
doesn’t exist. What is real – what does exist – are all of those
specific, important things that we as Americans have chosen to do
together through our government. In our democracy, government is not
some make believe thing that has an independent will of its own. In our
democracy, government is just how we describe all of the things that
“we the people” have already decided to do together."
