Government Shutdown

[robkelk]

I'll say this right now: If anybody walks out of the meeting before it's scheduled to end, then it will be that person's fault if there's another shutdown.

So if you and i are supposed to negotiate over something, and then you refuse to even negotiate and openly state that you will not budge, then me leaving because i have more important things to do than sit there and sling rhetoric and provide you with a photo op is MY FAULT? explain this to me please

In this case, you don't have anything more important to do. Stay and negotiate. Practice the art of the deal instead of being a petulant child who refuses to budge.
