MSNBC host Chris Hayes thinks he’s got it figured out.

It’s not Obama’s unwillingness to negotiate. It’s not the Democrat’s unwillingness to cut spending.

It’s the Constitution’s fault that we are having stalemates and shutdowns.

“The political disfunction that has brought about the shutdown and now threatens default, isn’t so much gridlock. It is exposing the fatal flaw in our Constitution and highly distinct system of government. In other words, it’s the Constitution’s fault. Something truly catastrophic was bound to happen sooner or later.”

And, there are probably thousands of Democrats out there who agree with him.

The rest just want their handouts.
