Democracy for America

I think the current gridlock is almost a shut down now.

The GOP won't approve judges. Obama struggles to appoint replacements for Bush cronies because they can't get through the process. Obama and the dems pass legislation, the GOP house blocks funds for it.

The debit deal last summer came close to a shut down ... and the GOP blinked in the end. I can see that happening again.

The GOP will attack Obama endlessly, but they really have nothing to offer beyond that. Its not like they can propose some great idea that most Americans will think will help the economy. Their only tool is the "tax cut" ... and the majority of Americans understand that tax cuts for the rich have not worked in the past.
