Republicans went nuclear now what?

     Republicans hope to get something from this government shutdown and are holding out for whatever that is. Which is ridiculous as they don't even know what they are holding out for. The shutdown explained
Well first of all they are trying to re-brand themselves to defer the blame for our current crisis. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/02/congress-during-government-shutdown_n_4031913.html By telling us that they are appalled by the shut memorials, that they shut down. That Obama is refusing to fund cancer research, which they shut down. That Obama is refusing to give local DC coverage which would turn back on their garbage service, which they shut down. So there is some slight of hand and misdirection going on all while John Boehner is wanting to hang up a mission accomplished banner.

Having a functioning government is not about sensationally running from one self made crisis to another nor is it about pandering to the most radical fundamentalist you can find. It is a system of give and take that does the most good for the greatest number of people. So when Obama sets conditions for negotiations look at those conditions for what they are. Reasonable: "...he would negotiate with them only after they agreed to the funding needed to reopen the government and also to an essential increase in the nation’s debt limit, without add-ons" Till then the republicans can just sit in the slowly piling up trash heaps due to their lack of a paid garbage system for all I care.
