Two years after Ted Cruz and the his fellow Republicans shut down the federal government in an attempt to take away millions of people's healthcare and just days following their attempt to shut down the government in an attempt to transform women into stepford wives across the country, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced he and the rest of the GOP will in fact be shutting the government down again, but for a different reason:
"We're old, we're tired, and we need a seriously long vacation. Look, people don't realize how hard it is to work 130 days a year for $174,000, as opposed to 250 days a year for $50,000. We work about 30-35% of the year and, in my opinion, that's 20-25% too much. I can understand why some people might get upset at us for this, like last time, when we cost the country $20 billion or so, but we're not the ones they should be upset about; it's those low-income moochers off the government and the hard-working taxpayers. I mean, these moochers get, on average, $130 a month in food stamps. That's over $1,500 a year! Us in Congress? We make that in about one working day, in the third of the year we actually do work! So, come on, people, who are you going to get mad at, the working poor mooching $1,500 a year off you or Congresspeople, who take over 200 days off work per year, and make that kind of money in a single day on the job? That's what I thought! It's like my buddy Rand Paul once said, 'The harder you work, the more money you make,' and the people in Congress, with our $174,000 salaries, working 130 days a year, are direct proof of that!"
Democratic Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren spoke out loudly against the shutdown, saying, "Those lazy scum-sucking bastards! I'm so angry right now! Who are the biggest moochers? They are! Those motherf**king pieces of sh*t! F**k them!"
Following Senator Warren's tirade, Republican Iowa Representative Steve King had this to say:
"Those words by Senator Warren were uncalled for. I think this shutdown happened because of the profanity she used and God punishing our country as a result. Elizabeth may have said those words after the shutdown started, but whatever... Tomato, potato..."
