Hello All.
Happy Tuesday.....
For most people, last night you went to bed with a fully functional government. This morning, however, at 12:01am our government deemed it necessary to shut down for the time being.
Why you may ask? Well mostly, because they can't get their heads out of their asses.
Before I go any further, let me remind you that yes, I know what I have sword to defend and uphold. This is my opinion, and nothing more.
OK, back to the important stuff. Our government works 3 days a week most weeks. Don't believe me? Congress is in session Tuesday through Thursday, unless there is something important going on, IE, a budget... Now, Democrats will blame this on Bush somehow, and Republicans will blame this on Obama. Guess what? It is ever damn elected official we have. If they are in office they should have worked harder.
My question is this. Why are we even talking about new government programs if we can't afford the old ones? This isn't a debate on Obama care, but how in the hell are we going to start something new, if we can't fix the current fuck ups we have? Seriously, shelve the damn thing, figure out a budget, then revisit the problem. Our government has completely let us down, and nobody is outraged enough to start voicing their opinion.
Don't think this closure will affect you? Guess again:
-If you live on a military post, You are no longer shopping for food or anything else on post. Commissaries, Px's, Class VI's, MWR, Gym's, etc. All Closed down. Nobody to run them. You're still working and getting paid though, and that's a good thing.
-Vacation coming up? Your not going to any National Park, Monuments, Historic places, etc. Yes, that's right, Battlefields are closed. Statue of Liberty, closed. All Smithsonian buildings, including the Zoo, closed. Grand Canyon, closed....
-All Va programs are closed... Old Va claims and health care will still be open, and managed, However, new claims will be delayed.
-Trying to buy a house with a government program? Guess what? Not until the Government opens back up...
This is just a few of the things impacted... The Government has really screwed the pooch on this one... I hope for all of our sake that the shutdown is only for 2-4 days like the news keeps saying, but in the end, who knows?
Have a great day all! I hope this doesn't affect you...
