House GOP at taxpayer-funded retreat



Don't try to tell me they want to avoid a shutdown, because they're giving their leader an ovation when he tells them to get ready for one:

House Republicans huddled late Monday and, according to a GOP aide, gave the speaker an ovation when he informed them that he was advising the House Administration Committee to begin preparing for a possible shutdown. That process includes alerting lawmakers and senior staff about which employees would not report to work if no agreement is reached.

They are the ones fighting for a shutdown.
