Federal Government Shutdown

Tuesday, October 1, 2013 18:49

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Our federal government partially shut down today. Something like 800,000 ‘non essential’ employees are being furloughed for the duration. On the plus side for me they passed a resolution to continue to pay the military. Personally I don’t care much about that. We save so missing a check or three isn’t a huge deal. At the same time a lot of soldiers are young, do not make much money and are not the best at handling money. They are a missed paycheck away from financial disaster. I am certainly thankful that Private Snuffy who is currently trying not to get killed in Afghanistan doesn’t have the additional worry about his wife being able to feed the kid(s), keep the lights on and pay the rent.

Honestly this whole shutdown thing is ridiculous. Our elected representatives are too worried about partisan bickering, talking points and propelling themselves to the next level and nowhere near sufficiently worried about how to fix our financial problems and run the darn country. I fear the gap between the two sides is ever growing and becoming more angrily entrenched. It feels more and more like the run up to the Civil War every month. Honestly I am beyond frustrated with the whole thing.

More and more I’m listening to rock music instead of the news while driving to and from work. At least it doesn’t make me angry.
