The Eliminate Shutdown Act does not undermine that process.

It just gives us all the time.

We wouldn't be sitting here the fourth week, going into the fourth week of a shutdown, doing nothing.

We could have been on appropriation bills.

We could have been working with each other.

We could have been negotiating.

But instead, we've got this shutdown showdown with literally no end in sight.

Hopefully tomorrow, but hopefully today, the Democrats will actually vote for the continuing resolution.

Doesn't sound like they will.

The next best step is let's at least pay the federal workers we're forcing to work.

That's the Shutdown Fairness Act that I've offered that we'll be voting on tomorrow.

Clearly, the current system is utterly broken right now.

We just crossed $38 trillion in debt.

And the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.

So again, we're in this dysfunction.

Let's not make...

federal workers who are being forced to pay, pay for our dysfunction.

So again, this makes perfect sense.

Even the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association, generally not an association that would agree with a Republican bill,

Completely supports this piece of legislation.
