Harry Reid says it's not all "for the children"

Because sitting at home on furlough is equivalent to a child suffering with cancer. It's pretty bad when obdurate liberal political partisanship trumps life or death.
I also find it kind of myopic for Reid and the democrats being bothered by idled, and redundant, federal workers and yet having not one wit of concern for people driven from the work force or into part time employment.

Never fear though dingy, the commie/liberal media will always have your back. No matter how big a clueless doofus you are.
