    Shutdown 2013!

    The Tea Party are a bunch of fucking crazy uninformed idiots. It is terrible that the dumbest people in the country that scream the loudest get to waste everyone else's time and money holding the economy hostage. That is all.

      All fo nothing. The economy just looked at this and went pishh, similarly to the Fiscal Cliff, nothing greatly affected.

          Yeah that's true but we are all hoping that this only a temporary thing,no longer than a week in its duration. Much to do with a stupid Texan who should also last a week, who now has no clue on his next step - it's has come to a point where probably he himself was shocked that this actually happened.


          Question: I have not really looked into it and I think i would be more confused than anything as I wouldn't have a understanding for the current context for the American medical system (apart from depictions in Michael Moore documentaries).

          Is Obamacare really worth all they hype it has generated - for the better or worse?

          Economists say it will end up worse, public agrees it is for the better, I'd like to hear some opinions on this.

            400,000 people that have been furloughed were ordered back to work this morning... that helps. My company is in big jeopardy of having massive delivery delays if the gov't doesn't shape up.
            Should I fuck you at that not until the ass, inject then tremendously hard bumschen and to the termination in the eyes yes?

              Boehner vows no deal on budget or debt limit without spending talks - CNN.com

              This guy is getting wagged along by the nuts in his party. The limit that both Dems and R's already agree on is the current sequester budget number which has already been mentioned as excessively low.

              These Tea Party nutjobs just want to do anything to derail a big piece of the Obama agenda (that he got reelected for too). Boehner will blink when it comes to the debt ceiling though.

                    Well duh. There is no argument that they are the problem. It isn't even a "both sides are to blame". You don't try and shut down random laws you like via defunding. You only do that if you don't give a shit about the process anymore and don't have the votes to repeal it the proper way.


                    ~80% of the USA agrees with me according to recent polling.

                      i'd be interested to take a look at that poll. link?

                      how about the majority of democrats passing a massive piece of US legislature that has huge financial repercussions without even reading it? i find a problem with that

                        Re: Shutdown 2013!

                        Just googling for shutdown polls brings up:


                        Polls: Public places more blame for shutdown on GOP - NBC Politics
                        Government shutdown: GOP losing ground with public, polls indicate - latimes.com
                        Polls: GOP takes more blame for shutdown impasse

                        Also the meme that no one read the bill is stupid. The real problem and why we are at a shutdown? The media and big money. Everything is either my way or the highway these days and thats now how you run a country.

                        People just absorb the one sided lies they hear from both sides have no idea what they are talking about.

                        Case in point:

                          i didn't see an 80% poll rating in the articles you posted. it sounded a bit fishy anyway...

                          it's sad that there wasn't much public discourse about the bill before passing it. call it a meme if that makes you happy (not sure if i entirely understand why you're calling it that) but almost no one in charge read the bill in its entirety. that's scary

                              If you believe every congressman reads every bill they pass you are sorely mistaken. Do you think your elected rep understands the technical intricacies of every single bill they pass for their constituents? They would be experts in everything if that were the case.

                              There was a lot of discourse FYI. Obama made it a major issue of his first campaign. He won. He also got re-elected.

                              It is a large bill because it is a major revamp affecting 50 states, therefore it will be complex. Laws affecting a major portion of the USA are complex things...thats the way it is.
