close out any of these other component parts because our friends on the other side said you've got to deal with this issue. this issue is the key to getting defense spend pentagon. this issue is the key to getting help for s-c.h.i.p. kids and on and on and on. i think most of the american people believe that shutting down the government over this issue, which doesn't even ripen until march, is irresponsible. and i've just listed all of the people who are going to be adversely impacted by this action. so we're going to keep on voting and the government may be heading into shutdown, but the senate and not shutting down, and we're hoping to talk. and to resolve this. i don't think it makes the institution look very responsible.
