All of those government employees were paid retroactively for not working. That's incredibly wasteful. And everybody knew it was going to happen...even Cruz. He only did it to raise his profile for 2016.
Dems havent delivered a budget in 6 years, but its Ted Cruz's fault?
Mmmmkay.

So...let's review:
That whole "it's Cruz's fault because Harry promised" thing? Hard to accept that when before Cruz even did anything, it was being reported:
Reid wants to confirm several controversial nominees, including Vivek Murthy, Obama’s choice to serve as the next surgeon general; Sarah Saldaña, his pick to head Immigration and Customs Enforcement; and Carolyn Colvin, his selection to lead the Social Security Administration.
He also wants to move a dozen pending district-court judicial nominees.
“We’re going to be back on Monday because Reid is insisting on these nominees at the end of a lame-duck session,” said the GOP aide.
Also, let’s do a little math. It’s a matter of historical fact that the Cruz-Lee point of order bought Reid ten hours worth of floor time on Saturday. Given that Reid was able to wrap up the session last night, what you would have to believe is that Reid would have let over two dozen important nominees just die for the sake of going home Tuesday instead of Wednesday or Thursday.
