It was the Republicans that inserted the defunding of the ACA into an otherwise clean bill, so yes it is their fault.
I was watching this last night on Sky news and think that the 15 yr sentence is very little for having starved a poor little boy whilst drinking a bottle of vodka per day.
. There are 3 recent cases of child abuse in the UK, where the parents have killed their children. Once again, the main question is what are Social Services doing ?

I was totally shocked and distressed by this story.

That bill is as clean as mud. In my opinion, we need to vote out every member of the house and Senate (both parties) and start anew. They are all greedy political hacks.
"Late Tuesday, House Republicans sought swift passage of legislation aimed at reopening small slices of the federal establishment. The bills covered the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Park Service and a portion of the Washington, D.C., government funded with local tax revenue.
Democrats generally opposed all three, saying Republicans shouldn't be permitted to choose which agencies remain open and which stay shut. As a result, all fell well short of the two-thirds majority needed for passage.
The White House also issued veto threats against the bills, drawing a jab from Michael Steel, a spokesman for Boehner. Obama "can't continue to complain about the impact of the government shutdown on veterans, visitors at National Parks, and D.C. while vetoing bills to help them," he said."

"Gone is the Republican demand for a full defunding of the health care law as the price for essential federal funding. Gone, too, are the demands for a one-year delay in the law, a permanent repeal of a medical device tax and a provision making it harder for women to obtain contraceptive coverage.
In place of those items, Republicans now seek a one-year-delay in the requirement for individuals to purchase insurance, and they want a separate provision that would dramatically raise the cost of health care for the president, vice president, members of Congress and thousands of aides." http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=228034273

Mercurial and fleeting
Actions have consequences. How is it that we should put x bill in place to fund x part of government so that x doesn't have to suffer when there is most certainly suffering across the board? Sure, let's open parks - we'll get to those people who rely on goverment assistance to put food on the table later.
Fund the government or don't fund it. This is just an attempt to walk back from their stupidity and deflect the blame.
The bill was 'clean' in that it didn't address defunding Obamacare/ACA; which is the law of the land. If you want to change the law - win elections and get the needed votes.

The politicians don't have to have to do as much work during this shut-down. My guess is both parties are laughing about this behind the scenes.
Without knowing what goes on behind the scenes, I can't realistically blame either more than the other. If you prefer Democrats, you blame the Republicans. If you prefer Republicans you blame the Democrats. There's little honesty in politics.

I don't like to argue politics when I hate both parties and most of the people in them with the heat of a thousand suns.
I had a verry pregnant woman ask me today at work,"What if the hurricane does hit here, [they are revising the track] and we don't have fema because the government is shut down?"
Sorry I got involved, carry on.

"The right antibiotic prescribing rate for adults with sore throat is probably around 10 percent," says Dr. Jeffrey Linder, a primary care physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and lead researcher in the study."

It was a clean bill until the Republicans added the ACA defunding language. It would have passed with no issues, no drama and no news coverage if the Republicans hadn't added it to the bill. It seems straight forward to me. I don't know how else to say this.
If it had been the Democrats who added language to an otherwise clean bill, that resulted in a gov't shutdown, it would have been the Democrats fault.
