Government Shutdown Over Obamacare
-
I fear shutting down the government about as much as I feared sequester. And about as much as I fear being eaten by sparrows.

This is about the long and short of it. I could give a fuck. Shut it down.

Yet, heck is still locked in to supporting obamaocare with gusto.
That is .... that's.... beyond belief.

Let them shut it down. Let's get real: its not as if they work anyway.

I was working for the VA the last shut down. I was declared an essential employee and had to work. If you were declared unessential you were sent home. But you were payed for all the time you were off anyway as soon as the budget was passed. So it is a farce. People will end up getting free vacations.

If anyone sees a unemployed government worker tell them to turn in their smart phones.
we are no longer paying them for FREE cell phone services.

Well a friend of mine says she isn't going to get paid. She works for the CDC, you know that organization that tries to keep epidemics from killing us all.

No doubt that each and every slight problem with someone's paycheck will be all over the news. It's impossible to look at this situation without viewing it through the prism of demagoguery. Just like the sequester. The fiscal cliff. Again nobody can talk about anything without it being a matter of catastrophe.
And you must admit that it's ironic to hear these guys crying that Obamacare was legally passed under the rules and regulations of the US government and then bitch like little girls when the same system puts the kibosh on extending the credit...

All I can tell you is when Clinton was President and the same thing happened (I think 1994?) the people who were sent home, did get paid eventually when they returned to work. My friend was harassing me because he was off for awhile and still got paid for it.

How on earth does it come to this? I mean, if the government can't agree on how to change something, you leave it in place until there's an agreed upon policy? If there's no agreed upon changes, you don't change things. How does this affect things like the CDC and all the other government funded organisations? Does it include things like garbage collection? Public transport? The army?

It happened because Americans continue to elect people who are at the extreme fringes of their respective parties. It's the Repubs who turned 'compromise' into a bad word, even though it is just what the doctor ordered here. As a result, the people most capable of coming to agreements with each other have either retired in frustration or have been elected out of office. The Republican Brotherhood has hijacked that party, and until American voters punish them in the next election, we only have ourselves to blame.

It doesn't affect local or State government. Public Transportation is local, likewise garbage collection. Doesn't affect Defense. Those agencies considered 'essential' will continue.

yea your outed as a liberal....
first noting the MMCC issue in the other thread as having all of us bow the knee to the scientist priests in the UN church of the burning world....
and here you tow the party line on the evils of conservative's "dissent" to the failed bill to keep the gvt running? seriously?
how bad is it for you libs? you got a majority and still cant run the place lol
-
Didn't the president just say that he had no intentions of compromise? Didn't I just hear a tirade from Chuck Schumer saying the exact same thing?
Let's be honest, Osiris. Compromise to you people is doing what you want.

Osiris ? Surely that means Heck, as in all totally drenched in Egypt !!! @@
That's the Dem manipulative slant, KGB style. Say your opponent won't compromise, when
you really refuse to compromise yourself, but arrogantly and dishonestly projecting your
behavior as a cya "framing" of the opponent as guilty of same.
It's all so corrupt, this liberal mindset. And Osiris, and Heck, one and the same maybe,
are/is ? all waterballooned in Egypt.

I don't know who Heck is, so you can lay that to rest.
Fact is as a social conservative i voted for GWB way back when on his first term. I vote on the issues and the candidates, not the party. On recent events in egypt, it is the repubs who had it right, not the pro Muslim Brotherhood dems, and in tihs case, it is the repubs who are wrong. Feel free to believe what you want, though.
And who said I agreed with Obama if he said he isn't willing to compromise? You guys are masters at projecting your stereotypes on people you hardly know. I do agree that holding up the budget because you want to fight obamacare is a poor tactic that is going to backfire on republicans, as many moderate republicans are already saying. Fact is the Republicans made the same mistake they made during the Clinton administration by forcing a government shutdown. They are going to pay for it in the next election.
-
there has been 17 government shutdowns. so what!
who gives a shit you still better pay your taxes when it is all said and done, the government whores and lazy asses need your money so they can live the life you dream of having for you're family.
i hope you obama lovers enjoy communism.
