Congressman John Mica, the Florida Republican blamed for single-handedly
shutting down the Federal Aviation Administration, sounded like a beaten
man when he called me Thursday evening.
.
The usually biting chairman of the House transportation committee spoke
with remorse about the standoff, which put 74,000 people on furlough or
out of work, caused delays to airport-safety projects, and cost hundreds
of millions of taxpayer dollars.
.
Ive had a brutal week, getting beat up by everybody, Mica told me, minutes
after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced a deal that would end
the shutdown and avoid the cuts to regional air service that Mica wanted.
.
I didnt know it would cause this much consternation, Mica said. Now Ive
just got to get the broom and the shovel and clean up the mess. Switching
metaphors, he said he wanted to unclog the toilet, but it backed up. So I
dont know what to do, what to say.
.
One thing hes going to do is make amends. He said he would introduce
legislation Friday to pay FAA workers for their furlough days. We just
want to cheer all those workers who have been left out on a limb by this,
he explained.
.
Micas experience shows the high-risk nature of business in the new
Washington, where even routine issues like FAA funding can become
conflagrations. With no goodwill between the two parties, or the two
chambers, ordinary disagreements mushroom into governing crises, with
unpredictable results.
.
In the debt-limit standoff, Democrats capitulated to most Republican
demands in order to avoid a default. In the FAA confrontation, Republicans
pursued similar brinkmanship -- but this time Democrats resisted, let the
shutdown happen and, at least in Micas view, won the fight.
.
