Thomas Sowell, of whom I’ve been a fan since I was a youngun, cuts through the
Democrat news media B. S. (Sorry for the redundancy there.) as few seem willing
to do.
There is really nothing
complicated about the facts. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives
voted all the money required to keep all government activities going -- except
for ObamaCare.
This is not a matter of opinion.
You can check the Congressional Record. . . .
The Senate chose not to vote to
authorize that money to be spent, because it did not include money for
ObamaCare. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says that he wants a
"clean" bill from the House of Representatives, and some in the media
keep repeating the word "clean" like a mantra. But what is unclean
about not giving Harry Reid everything he wants?
Thus the
Democrats in the Senate all voted no on funding the government and willfully
bought about the shutdown. And they
have rejected numerous efforts since by Republicans to reopen the government, including bills to fund veterans benefits, the national parks, NIH, the District of Columbia, and more.
Whatever
your view of the shutdown and of Obamacare, those are indeed the facts.
