Govt Shutdown

 

Whose fault is the shutdown?

Simple...

Shutdowns only occur when the party NOT IN CONTROL wants to prevent the party IN CONTROL from conducting business.

• The Republicans do it to the Democrats
• The Democrats do it to the Republicans

This is the way our democratic government works and the only negative issue with govt shutdowns is that the GENERAL PUBLIC gets SCREWED...

Let me be specific...

Only some of the GENERAL PUBLIC gets SCREWED...  unfortunately, not everyone.

• Essential Personnel
• Military Personnel
• Airline Passengers
• Small Businesses

The politicians DOING THE SCREWING do not get hurt at all unless their constituents vote them out of office the next time around.

Now...  for people like me, those who are retired, the govt shutdown don't mean JACK SHIT...  At 78 years of age, I am FED UP with POLITICIANS on both sides of the aisle...  All they care about is re-election and insider trading.

If they really cared about America and the American People, they would set up TERM LIMITS all of Congress including the Supreme Court.  That way, re-elections don't mean nothing.

But odds are that will never happen and these shutdowns will continue and Americans will continue to pay the price.
