Make the People suffer Day 5 — Deranged Dems condemn House bill granting backpay for fuloughed Fed workers [Darleen Click]
Yes, really. The Republican-led House passed a bill Saturday to give thousands of furloughed federal workers back pay when the government reopens, but Democrats promptly characterized it as a signal the GOP doesn’t want the partial shutdown to end. “Now we’re saying to federal employees: We’re going to pay you when this is all over with,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, said minutes after the 407-to-0 House vote. “But right

What is a president in a presidential constitutional republic to do when faced with an intransigent, bull-headed faction among his people’s representatives?
