Yes, since 1976 the government has been shut down 17 times prior to today's shutdown and the world continued to turn, the sun rises, ordinary folks still go to work and so on. Now begins the parade of whining, sniveling govt workers lamenting how their children will starve, their homes will be foreclosed and so on. Well guess what, welcome to the world of the rest of America! Hard to feel sorry for them considering what Obamanomics has done to the rest of the country. Maybe some of the wealthy counties around DC will finally after seven years experience a bit of an economic slowdown so they can see what the rest of us are dealing with.......

So true but how do we work our way back to sanity without throwing the baby out the window so to speak?

“WASHiNGTON
— As the government shutdown (slimdown) ran through its second day on
Wednesday with no end in sight, President Obama issued a stern warning that the
nation was headed toward financial catastrophe if there’s no resolution to the
crisis.” [NYP, 03OCT13]
This is a
leader speaking? No… it’s more like a tantrum. He’s just not getting what he
wants and he is pushing Wall Street to back him. i wonder if THiS will work?
He
should take a look at his job description in The Constitution… now, if only he can find a copy of it somewhere.

"The fact that we are here today to debate
raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot
pay its own bills. It is a sign that we
now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our
Government's reckless fiscal policies.
“Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally.
“Leadership means that, 'the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of
bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better." [Barack
Obama, March 2006]
