The minority can steal time and pay a game of delay.
In two weeks the US government may shut down again if repubs don't vote to pay the bills that Trump rang up (5 trillion). Its called passing the debt ceiling.

I 'tossed' off a little parody for just such a situation.

Lyrics - pARODY

Oh, baby let's take it down tonight (ba-ba-ba, bum)
Ooh baby, I'm hot just like an oven (steal me some money, give me some money)
I need some 'cold cash'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer (steal me some money, give me some money)
It's getting stronger and stronger
When I get that feeling
I want a debt ceiling
A big debt ceiling, oh baby
Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind
A big debt ceiling baby, is good for me
A big debt ceiling is something that's good for me
Whenever blue teardrops are fallin'
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and just lobby the, Congress
And Congress I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the thing you're dealing
Oh I can tell you, Congress, that it's a big debt ceiling
Let's all vote tonight
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
'Cause you got some work
Baby, I got sick this mornin' (please give me money, please give me money)
A sea was stormin' inside of me
Congress, I think I'm capsizin'(steal me some money, give me some money)
The debt is risin' and risin'
And when I get that feeling
I want a big debt ceiling
A big debt ceiling is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us
Don't shut down the government it's bad for me
Don't shut down the government that's bad for us
God, it's bad for me and it's so bad for the country, oh
Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind, soon we'll be making more money
I'll be feeling fine
You're my medicine, open up and let me in
Darling, you're so great, I can't wait for you to operate
(pay the debt ceiling)
(pay the debt ceiling)
I can't wait for you to operate
When I get this feeling (steal me more money)
I need a debt ceiling
Oh, when I get this feeling (give me more money)
I need a big debt ceiling
I gotta have a big debt ceiling, Congress (please pay our bills)
'Cause I'm all alone
I need a big debt ceiling, Congress (heal me my darling)
'Til you come back home (heal me my darling)
Please don't procrastinate
It's not good to masturbate
