First, I like to say IT'S ABOUT TIME. I was so sick of the threats to do what we want or we'll shut down the government. Well, finally, for once they didn't cave and the government shut down. Good. Well they call it a shut down but this is a joke. So you can't visit a national park, visit a Presidential library, or you get to stay home because you're an unessential federal employee. If there's a disaster FEMA is still there, the mails will run, and you'll get your checks and food stamps.
The parties are blaming each other. Democrats are so used to Republicans giving in when they threaten to shut down the government. I'm glad the Republications stood their ground for a change. Hopefully when the American people see a government shut down is no big deal, just a ploy, they'll contact their representatives and tell them what they think about the issues at hand.
What puzzles me is how they decided which websites to disable during the shut down. That stupid health care exchange's site is up but the BARD site to order talking books is down. Both sites can run themselves so why is one down? I can understand their not adding any new books but why not allow downloads of books already there? Politics. That's life. I'm willing for the government to be shut down for as long as it takes to get a YEARLY budget. I'm tired of these temporary budgets. Leave it shut down until they vote to put in a debt sealing in place. Let green energy fund itself through private funding. Keep our soldiers out of every other country's skirmishes. Postpone and iron out this healthcare mess if they insist on not defunding it.
