  1. I thought that they'd be over this soap opera by now, but obviously neither Obama or congress is going to blink first. Prepare yourself with more debt, people with out jobs, and complaints about how
    "It's all Congress' fault."
    Or
    "It's all Obama/ObamaCares fault."

     This is just silly. I mean, we are all just so dang stubborn that our resolution to a disagreement was to shut THE GOVERNMENT DOWN.

  5. The longer this lasts the longer the democrats benefit. It'll be seen has a republican temper tantrum.
     
  6. People would be without jobs with obamacare aswell lol makes no difference
     
  7. And Sexatime has a point, lol.
     
  8. How would they, may I ask? I mean, ObamaCare is insurance for those who cannot afford it.
     
  9. A politician who listens to his people is hard to find. Power corrupts and will continue do so until the end of time. This government shut down is an example of politicians who are so dead set against each other they cannot get anything done.
     
  10. No.

    The government shut down was a planned and orchestrated maneuver. It was planned by the Tea Party Caucus. They stated publicly on numerous occasions that a shut down and default were part of a plan to extract concessions.

    This isn't "both sides." This is a small group that are rigging the system to blow up and harm Americans if we don't enact their agenda.

    The more this is seen as mere partisan gridlock, the more we miss the actual underlying malfeasance that is threatening to destroy this country.
     
  11. Obamacare is not insurance for those who can't afford it. Obama care is like Canada's health care.

    Obamacare is not for "poor" people. Obamas plan is to get every American to have obamacare. It makes it cheaper for old people and more expensive for younger people. I know plenty of friends parents and grandparents who can't afford their medication that they need to survive. I mean I don't exactly agree with everything Obama does but maybe this might have a good side to it.
