I hold both the democratic and republican sides accountable for not getting any damn thing done. It's hard to pick sides and say that one side is more culpable than the other when they're all acting like children.
Their job is to debate and vote. They remained in the House and debated the issue. I should have said "attempted to stay and work". Youre right. Its difficult to continue working, when the boss turns off the lights.
