                                SHUTDOWN

  (Ms. FRANKEL of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, last night, this United States 
Congress put more than 800,000 patriotic Americans out of work 
indefinitely. That means 800,000 families may not pay their mortgage, 
their car loan, or their college tuition.
  To those Tea Party colleagues who rejoice in a government shutdown, I 
once again quote our mutual friend, Dr. Seuss. Please listen carefully:

       Oh, the places you'll go! There is fun to be done! There 
     are points to be scored. There are games to be won. And the 
     magical things you can do with that ball will make you the 
     winning-est winner of all.
       Fame! You'll be as famous as famous can be, with the whole 
     wide world watching you win on TV.
       Except when they don't, because sometimes they won't. I'm 
     afraid that sometimes, you'll play lonely games too. Games 
     you can't win 'cause you'll play against you.
