You'll need a drink after reading this one!
Shutting Down of the Government... Could this really be happening? On the front page of the Washington Post online showed an article about the government shutting down in October. Hook. Line. Sinker. No fancy title was necessary. Anything about the government shutting down would catch anyone's eye. Many problems seem to be contributing to this potential shut down of the government. The first is that the end of the fiscal year is on October 1st, and no spending bills have been passed which are necessary for the government to operate. Benefits, social security and national security would continue on while every federal employee would see a delay in any sort of pay as well as the military. Obamacare will also be kicked off on October 1st, but it is in need of funding which is being fought over to be stripped to help the government not shut down. America has already reached the borrowing limit. Where is all this money going to come from? Obamacare needs to wait. In the end that will help for the government to stay running; at least for a period of time seeing as how this wasn't the first time.

A Tall Glass of Politics recently published a blog on how the government may shut down, the reasons for the shutdown and the possible consequences of it. But let's not drink that tall glass yet! Take a moment and think about this, what has the government done for us latley? Make us further into debt, Maya Elliott said it herself, "America has reached its borrowing limit." What could happen next? What is the purpose of having an organization if it is doing nothing but burrying our wallets further and further down a hole?
ReplyDeleteOn average, a senior citizen runs out of their social security check after about 3 years, and where does the funding of that check come from after those 3 years are up? Us. The actual working class Americans. Obamacare is also doing nothing but stealing our hard earned money. There are few ways to make a profitable campaign that benefits all citizens, moreover it is extremely difficult to kick start the program, however the national government is not making any attempt of that at all. Perhaps its time for a new change, a different organization to help decide what's best for us citizens, maybe the government shutdown would be a step closer to reformation and profitable ideas. Drink on that!
