"Go Fuck Yourself"

The 2013 Shutdown:
Was due to Republicans wanting to strip funding from the newly passed ACA (Obamacare).
The 2025 Shutdown:
Is due to Democrats wanting to extend funding for the ACA (Obamacare) that will expire December 31st. The Big Beautiful Bill did not extend the funding.
In 2013, Republicans were not able to entirely defund the ACA, but as part of the negotiations, the Democrats conceded to stricter income verification rules for citizens accessing the health insurance exchanges. And the shutdown was ended.
I always liked the John Boehner (pictured left) quote from that shut down:
“We are [the Republicans] are standing our ground. Its Harry Reid [Democrats, pictured right] that isen’t moving.”
There is even a video of Boehner telling Reid to go "fuck himself"
Pretty funny, except its everyday hard working people that get hurt.
You might note that the Democrats, as part of a bargaining chip, did not start firing and laying people off.
