With the Department of Homeland Security eight days away from shutting down, House Republicans have already failed their first test of leadership. In a disastrous first month, the new Republican controlled Congress has done nothing but lurch from manufactured crisis to manufactured crisis for nothing but cynical political games.
“The Republican Congress would rather put our national security at risk and put hard working Americans in jeopardy than actually accomplish something,” said Matt Thornton of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “It’s clear that Republicans are more interested in wasting time than focusing on middle class economics.”
