>> When and where have Dems shutdown the gov't so they can continue to spend?

When the Reps try to cut spending the Dems resist. They are fighting to maintain the higher spending levels. Been going on since 70s or so.

If the Dems yielded on the spending cuts, the shutdowns would not have occurred.
