Shutdown

[Q5Quint]

The VA shutting down, no federal backed loans, no VA loans, no IRS audits, museams and parks close, 400k civilian defense workers....

We wont notice it at our office, but my friends in the park service on furlough sure do.

There are several articles like this currently:

"66. What about the stock market? The Standard & Poor's 500 fell 3.7% during the 1995-96 government shutdown, according to S&P Capital IQ. Stocks quickly rebounded after the government got back to work, rising 10.5% the month after the shutdown ended."

Seems like a good way for your rich buddies to make some extra cash in the market, at the expense of the american tax-payers. Of course, money doesn't motivate congress at all, this is about 'sending a message'.

That's not a convincing argument: that's just arguing semantics. most of our military spending is not essential but it won't shut down. Do you think the FAA should shut down? Meat factory inspectors?

Yes, it is tongue-in-cheek.

It is a win-win for the GOP. Defund obamacare or shut the government down. Either way, less government. Way to go fucktards.
On a side note me and three families are scrambling to change our camping plans for the weekend.

Just go open the gates up. WW2 vets opened up the memorial in DC.

There is no good reason open air national parks and memorials should be shut down. Especially when congress is still getting paid their six figure income. None whatsoever.

BUY & bring bolt cutters. Then return after the weekend.

Sooo is the NSA still spying on us or did they get sent home too?

I really feel like this is all one big dog and pony show, they are using this as a distraction form something else, or as a cover for something else. What I dont know, I have been too busy to keep up with anything but work

This ^

For those of you that haven't seen it go on youtube and search "october surprise" everything is making sense now. The shutdown has a lot to do with another false flag IMO.

Nope they continue with business as usual

So the GOP wants to fund only the things people notice or get pissed about being closed. Dont you think perhaps they are doing that to prevent backlash against their action of shutting the government down? They're just hurting their own party.
