Nothing says fiscally responsible like "we believe you're not necessary, and we know you're not working, but you're very valuable and were going to pay you anyways." Something tells me republicans have no intention of shrinking the size of government. Duh.

And the Democrats do?

I will go with the party that at least wants to defund parts of the government and government services like Obamacare. I will go with the party (at least for the moment) that is still working on trying to fund most of the government while the Democrats point fingers and use the willing media to blame others for their failures.

If republicans want to defund parts of the government, why would they jump at the chance to pay people retroactively who have been defunded?

it was already done. Non essential employees were already defunded. Republicans voted unanimously to fund them.

democrats and republicans want large government.

if republican politicians are against obamacare, it's for one reason *rubs fingers together*
