It makes common sense the American people would support it. We wouldn't have to suffer through the dysfunction time and time again. I've been here 15 years. We should have passed 180 bills funding the government on time before the start of the fiscal year is funding. We've passed 6. That's a 96.7% failure rate. Something's got to change. We need change. We need real paradigm shift. Eliminate Shutdowns Act. Or the Shutdown Fairness act would be that kind of paradigm shift. (04:37–04:44)
