Lest we forget: the people who did this

<snip>

Lest we forget: the people who did this. Specific people decided that their demand to undo legislative history was worth the disruption and loss for everyone else. As I mentioned when the shutdown was young, these legislators enjoyed a roughly 8-million-to-one multiplier effect: each of them had effects on a vastly larger number of fellow citizens. Let's review who did this:

John Boehner (for being too frightened of the hardliners to bring a "clean" budget bill for a vote); Eric Cantor (by extension); Ted Cruz (fill in the blanks).

Plus the cast of House GOP hardliners: Justin Amash, Michele Bachmann, Marsha Blackburn, Mo Brooks, Paul Broun, John Carter, John Culberson, Ron DeSantis, Scott DesJarlais, Jeff Duncan, John Fleming, Scott Garrett, Phil Gingrey, Louis Gohmert, Tom Graves, Vicky Hartzler, Tim Huelskamp, Jim Jordan, Steve King, Raul Labrador, Tom Massie, Tom McClintock, Mark Meadows, Randy Neugebauer, Matt Salmon, Mark Sanford, Steve Scalise, Dave Schweikert, Steve Stockman, Marlin Stutzman, Randy Weber, Ted Yoho.

Remember them.
