The US should look what other countries do like Belgium.
Belgium did have not have government for nearly 2 years and they did a better than the US and the Netherlands.

Yes. So the obvious solution is to let the Republicans win and not form a goverment by having the Electoral College not appoint a president and not controlling both Houses.

Don't you see? It's actually very simple. When you have a broken leg, there's no need to go to the dr. All you have to do is cut off the leg and the problem will resolve itself!

But since we all came from Africa, it's a known fact that the best president is an African.
So we need a white African. And we have Obama! Har har har har.

Yeah, that's simply asinine. Millions will starve doing that. For better or worse the US military is the world's largest employer and contractor. A two year shutdown would not only cause people massive unemployment literally overnight, but also lead to a global economic meltdown of epic proportions.
