Schumer is doing the right thing. First of all, there is no such thing as Tax Reform under a Republican Administration. All they will do is cut taxes for the rich, run large budget deficits, and then use those deficits as an excuse to cut social spending. We have seen this all before.

The Republican strategy is simple. Win over organized and disorganized labor, replace the words "profit" and "fatcat" with "job creation." Shut down the government. Blame the Democrats. Blame the Democrats for obstructing the President. Shameless hypocrites who thrive on America's short attention spans. salon.com snip After a town hall meeting at an air conditioner manufacturing plant in Waller County, Texas, Cruz told reporters that “you know, I very much hope we don’t have a shutdown. I will say I’m concerned. I think [Senate Minority Leader] Chuck Schumer and the Democrats want a shutdown.” He added: “You know, one of the dynamics we’ve got is the Democratic radical left is demanding of Senate Democrats that they oppose everything, that they engage in across-the-board obstruction. And so I do have some concern that to appease the radical left, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats may do everything they can to try to provoke a shutdown.” snip
