If you want to raise the other issues, I suspect we can work out an
agreement. And I suspect those issues are being negotiated, literally,
right now in budget discussions and budget talks. So that is the
appropriate place to deal with them. But, again, there is no reason to
shut down the government or threaten a shutdown unless you are trying
to force some unrelated policy objective. In this case, the immigration issue that my friend refers to,
actually things extend into March. There are talks underway there. I
don't see how shutting down the government moves us toward that
solution.
