USA Government Shutdown - Wishful thinking!

Please read, then share. It really helps!


As of midnight, tuesday morning, the American Government goes into (partial) shutdown. This has had to happen due to the fact that the law that funds the government ‘ran out’ it expired - like the focus on Iraq - Poof, and it’s gone. For the government to stay open, the republican house and the democratic senate need to pass a new law, they both have to agree for it to go through.

   This is where the U.S of A has fell short. They simply can’t seem to agree on the new budget - or more specifically they can't agree on one point. Obamacare. What a horrible phrase. We can thank Jeanne Schulte Scott who first coined the phase (she was mocking that private care seemed to be all the presidential candidates cared about) “Health care is hot” she said back in 2008 - when Obamacare was a mere spec in the greedy little eye of the the ‘States.

But what does this shutdown actually mean? well, to be honest, nothing. 

• Government looses revenue from the tourist industry. 

• Keeping money from the 800,000 workers that don't need to be paid. 

• Taxes still collected from the citizens - with no need to spend them on pesky things like opening a 93m high french lady.

   With all this going on take one guess who's still being paid? No, not the NASA Scientists, Not the Police force either (they get IOU’s) but the ‘America’s bravest’ soldiers are still being paid for they’re daily pillage of the world. 

   Well, if America couldn't fund their army then how on Earth could they continue to control other countries oil supplies?! - Don’t be silly! thats not going to happen. Not on Obamawatch. Not when Obamacares. Not when it provides a beautiful smokescreen.

   What i’ve loved in watching this story develop is the unconditional bias shown (yes, i’m one to talk) but CNN and BBC are both only reporting the democratic side of the argument and Obamas reactions to what these ‘hostage taking’ republicans are doing. The underlying tone of the senate is comparing republicans to terrorism! 

   Fancy that! Russia steps in with the Syria fiasco, with their nonsense of ‘peace talks’ before bomb drops and suddenly the USA have ran out of fiction to fight! They have to literally bring the fight into there own house (pun intended) rather ironically over the inability to compromise with each other! Ridiculous. 

Obama Himself has just made a statement to the American people and the world.

   Blame game! From the outset he attacks the ‘one branch of one house’ he then goes on to compare them to holding ransom - again a terrorism reference. He talks of the services that have been shut down. he pleads with the republicans to reconsider. 

   Of course the affordable care act comes up. He focus’ on this heavily, more-so then the apparent devastating news of a government shutdown. He started giving sob stories of ‘true americans’ who are now blessed by his Obamacare. He went on to ‘plug’ websites and phone numbers for it! 

   This leader of the free world was more concerned (perhaps rightly so) with people liking his new care package! he doesn't want people to question why republicans are SO against it. 

Why are they so against the affordable healthcare act? has Obama once addressed this in public? no.

He gloats that “even though parts of the government are shut down, Obamacare is not” 

He over-simplifies important congressional discussions in terms of car loans and paying your mortgage. 

   In the end - Mr. Obama talked for three quarters of his address talking about his care package that he is obviously standing his ground on. 

   If you ask me, It looks to me that we need the ruskies in again. Sit down and have a look at both sides of this argument. Find all the facts about the bill that is bringing down a nation. The world might be a better place too if the government shutdown INCLUDED the massive drain on funds ‘the United States Army’ and maybe rethink the definition of ‘essential shutdowns’ and keep all sciences open and funded indefinitely.
