The question stands: are you happy for your tax dollars to pay people to literally do nothing but waste their and everyone else's time?
Well if we had a president that don't veto or threaten to veto everything that comes out of Congress unless it's exactly what he wants it wouldn't be a waste of time and money.
Our system of government is about compromise and this is something that Obama has shown over and over again that he will not do.
The last government shut down was blamed on the Republicans unwillingness to compromise and now Obama and his cronies are blaming Republicans for their own unwillingness to compromise yet again. Why is it that the Republicans are always the ones that have to give with this administration? Didn't Obama campaign on being the "great uniter" and a promise to end the partisan gridlock in DC? Yet he has done absolutely nothing to make things better. In fact the situation is worse now than at any other time in our history.
