We are now about 2 weeks into the shutdown of the U.S. Government and there appears to be no end in sight. The morons in Washington continue to meet day and night but have not come up with a mutual resolution that both Democrats and Republicans can stomach. So, who is actually to blame for this mess. Some will say the Democrats, Some say Republicans and even some blame the Tea Party. The Democrats and President Obama are holding fast on their stance especially when it comes to Obama Care. The Republicans don't like Obama Care and refuse to increased the debt ceiling to fund it. As for the Tea Party, these pin heads seem happy that the government is closed and basking in the thought that they are ruling the Republican Party. Are any one of these entities to blame? I think not! They are all to blame for this embarrassment we call a government in Washington.
I am a Democrat. However, the more I look at Obama Care the more I don't like it. I hate the fact that this is being forced onto the people of this country really bothers me. It bugs me that if you don't have health insurance you get fined. I always thought this was a free country and I could choose what I want to do. (More on my thoughts on Obama Care coming in the near future). The Obama led Democrats are not budging on this during their talks which has forced and impasse. They claim that they have made numerous concessions over the past few months but refuse to give anymore. The Demo's also want to raise the debt ceiling yet again which means we will be spending money that we actually don't have. Right now the federal government is close to $15 trillion dollars in debt. There must be an end to the national debt and that is what the Republicans are looking at.
On the other side, the Repo's led by House Speaker John "Boner" Bohener are looking to flat out kill Obama Care. They don't think it makes fiscal sense and it should not be forced on the people. They also don't believe that the penalties will make up for the cost to the feds bottom line. According to the website Obama Care Facts, the cost of Obama Care will be $1.1 trillion over 10 years while saving over $200 billion and up to $1.1 trillion over the next 20 years. The Republicans argue that the math just does not add up. They also argue that there must be a stop to the national debt ceiling and government spending. Their stance is that we should not raise the debt ceiling, but instead cut spending which includes programs that effect the American people in a negative way. Speaker Boner like Obama is holding fast to his side and does not seem too willing to compromise either.
On the third side of this triangle of idiocraty are the members of the Tea Party. This somewhat radical wing of the Republican Party are the loudest minority that we have had in Congress in quite some time. These pin heads led by Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Michele Bachman have taken over the reigns of the Republican Party away from their traditional leaders. While the major players stand by, the Tea Party people are making a joke of the Republican Party. They have single handedly closed down the federal government and are proud of it. These morons have now furloughed over 800,000 federal employees and have possibly put dozens of vendors out of business. Boy, that is great for an already dying economy! These nimrods get their ugly faces on CNN all the time so they can spew their nonsensical policies out of their flapping pie holes. Frankly I am sick of them. They need to go away and fast. The Republican leadership needs to pack these jokers away in the back of the closet before they destroy the entire party. If there was an election today, the Democrats would win in a landslide.
The bottom line here is our federal government is a mess. All the parties involved should be fired by "We The People". We should also band together and march on Washington to protest this mess. I say storm the Congress and take over the government. Let's throw these bums right out onto the street where they belong. It's time for common sense government. Let's stop sending billions of dollars over to countries like Egypt who hate out guts. Hell, this shutdown is no skin off their backs since they are still getting paid. This really sticks in my craw. These lunk heads are also exempt from Obama Care which to me speaks volumes. Why force it on the people if they don't want it? To sum it all up, this entire thing is a mess.
