I personally, know exactly what the problem is. The Right wing thinks right wing and the left wing thinks left wing; Republicans think Republican, and Democrats think Democrat (not necessarily Democratically) Conservatives think too conservatively, and liberals think too liberally (seriously, they should think less). This whole thing started a few hundred years ago and has been a constant battle, because everyone who says they are thinking outside the box is stuck inside a larger one, that they cant see for the first one that they are thinking inside of... I, myself, could give two shits less when, where, why, or how this whole damned thing started. EVERYBODY (in Government) quit pointing fingers and FIX IT. Compromise is why we broke off from England in the first damn place! you cant compromise with the House of Commons, because there are no commoners! I think that is the same problem we have here, everyone in Government is seated happily above the clouds and don't remember (because believe it or not they were all born in a hospital and grew up somewhere) what its like to fall down every once in a while and hit the bottom, or the impact that the things they do have on people. This whole Democracy thing is supposed to be run by the constituents, not the politicians themselves. IMHO.
My question is...why the hell wasn't this resolved last year during the start of the new fiscal year? Personally, I think the politicians were so tied up with health care this got put on the shelf...now look at the mess we're in...what a joke. This should've been addressed months ago....can't imagine how politicians thought we could wait this long....as an active duty military person this pisses me off.
Healthcare was passed early last year, around summer. Fiscal year ends in late Sept - they've got no excuse. Dems didn't pass a budget because they didn't want a multi-trillion dollar blowout bill hanging over their heads going into the Nov. elections, not that it did them any good.

That was my original point about all of this. The Democrats had the majority in both houses of congress AND the White House! They were more concerned with laying the framework for a takeover of health care and crippling the financial sector to worry with doing the actual things the government is supposed to do!

+1,000,000,000.............and that said....shut the whole f*cker down, dont even give a $hit anymore. Pay the soldiers then bring em home. This will never last more than a few days anyway because people on both sides of the aisle woudl realize we were no worse off without the govt and the real issue is haves vs have nots-----not an issue about ideology.
Yes yes, all of our representatives behave like petty silly children, all parties included, they always have and we've always known this was the case. The failure here is that we normally elect a STRONG LEADER as president who can make them behave. Now what we have is a president who is a limp d!ck worthless piece of slow-acting, overly-analytical nonsense wrapped in a fast-melting candy-coating made of hope and transparency, and he can't do a DAMN thing. He's simultaneously unable to stand up to other world leaders (his peers) and his subordinate congressmen and senators. Get him the hell out of there.
I think I have a new Sig line. Pm me your addy, you just won a treat!
We use the term shutdown but that doesn't mean complete shutdown. The national security is out of it. We at the overseas post will continue working and will get paid(75% workforce). However, it will hurt many people and overall national trade. I just want them to compromise and do something positive and constructive for the country. It is not matter who support who, it is the matter of our future. As soon as our politicians realize it better for the country and our future.
Yeah, I don't quite understand the numbers, 38 billion? Um, Minnesota is 5 billion in the red, we were at 6.5 billion. It just seems like they need to be talking about bigger numbers.
