Shutdown

[LEANE30]

It's a botched situation no matter the angle you look at it. They all need to be kicked out, every single partisan panderer.

Maybe congress should have MADE A BUDGET FOR 2013 instead of just doing a CR. ...they should have had a budget together already for 2014, not be dealing with 2013's budget...in October.

I guess when your currency isn't backed by anything at all, your so far in debt you'll never get out or be able to indefinitely manage the interest payments, what's the point of a budget anyhow. The ship's sinking and all hands on deck are just going to sit around and finish off the rest of the booze at the wet bar.

It wont last past Oct 16, sucks for those of you peeps who arent getting paid. When I dont show up for work and dont do my job I dont get paid, neither should the people who failed to do their job

just like those retards that rammed 0 care though with out reading it. You remember we have to pass it find out whats in it, and didnt do too much negotiating on it when it went though in the 1st place. Many of those R's are in their seats in response to 0 care in the 1st place. They are doing what they were hired by their constituency to do right?????

Nothing was rammed, everything was read and heavily debated over and over. It was one of the most heavily negotiated and revised bills to ever be passed through Congress. Your statements are outright false.

Sure, I'm aware that these dumbfucks were elected as knee jerk reactions to ACA but that doesn't necessarily mean it takes priority over keeping the government running.

There's no reason for this to be tied to a continuing resolution other than a last ditch effort to block legislation that they wouldn't otherwise be able to overturn. You would be pissing mad if the roles were reversed and the dems were trying to use a similar situation to enact severe firearms legislation.

Is your partisanship so blind that you can't see both parties don't give a shit about us?

Shutting down the WWII vet memorial.....because it's open 24/7 with no security at night? No other president has been so vindictive during a govt shutdown.

I dunno which party threatened to shut down the government because they didn't get their way? These dumbfucks have voted 41 times to kill off or defund obamacare and failed every time and this time they upped the ante.

I am with Manic

the Claude Moore Colonial Farm is NPS controlled due to sitting on federal land yet provides NO funding or staff or any other resources but had sent law enforcement to shut it down......... Vindictive, just like with the sequester the parks and other high profile public things took much of the brunt of the cuts.

Why didnt the house bother to bring the clean funding bill to a vote should be your question.

The president doesnt choose what gets closed.. that's the parks service.

They refused to negotiate this for weeks leading up to this so that they could use it as a wedge.

Tr? Traditional reservist?

[M-technik-3]

Both clown sides refused to budge because it doesn't effect them. It does for me. My check did not come through since I'm a tr and I'm stuck abroad.

So why is everyone on the left ignoring the GOP passed House bill that would have funded the gov't and delayed the individual mandate for 1 year?

The White House has literally given out HUNDREDS of exemptions for the mandates on companies, etc.

Yet, it's the R's who refuse to negotiate?

I got my paycheck. But all of the civilians that work on the flightline with us (who don't make anything near six figures) have been sent home without pay until further notice. Some of these guys/gals get by just like everyone else. And not having that income for a week, a month, etc. can really hurt them financially. Just my two cents to those saying they haven't noticed any effects from this. I get it if you aren't involved in the military/government workforce, but you just have to look a little harder to see it.

[canadiankid]

this thread isn't nearly as bad as I feared it would be.

anyway, the shutdown is peanuts. the real threat is the debt ceiling.

Its cool, just raise it again. They'll do it ironically this time. I don't even know why they bothered to keep it.
